Let's hope this is an emerging trend in Wildlife Law Enforcement and Conviction rather than the sweep it under the rug approach!


The people responsible for the poaching of numerous big game animals around Edson in 2013 were sentenced in court.


Judge handed out $135,000.00 in fines, foreiture of 3 vehicles, 4 firearms and ammunition, 4 lifetime hunting bans, 1 10 year hunting ban, 1 five year hunting ban, 90 days in jail and 9 months of house arrest.


Colton Campbell sentenced to 90 days in jail, fined $45,000.00 and lifetime hunting ban.


Derek Brown sentenced to 9 months house arrest, $45,000.00 fine and lifetime hunting ban.


Taylor Brown got a $10,000.00 fine and ten year hunting ban.


Michaela Scott fined $10,000.00 and a lifetime hunting ban.


One youth issued 200 hours of community service and a five year hunting ban.

Good to see the judge dropped the hammer on these poachers.


HAPPY NEW YEAR
 
Wow, that's the stiffest judgement I have seen! I wish this happened more often, except for paper crimes that is.
 
The fines are one thing trying to collect on.
The impoundment and seizure of goods and vehicles I think hurts the most.
Curious to know whether this will stop the roaches from going back to
doing what they were use to doing.
 
Poachers are real lowlifes ; hopefully these harsher sentences become a trend for people caught poaching....
 
Its good to see these stiff penalties! But its still sad to see how some people involved in "hunting accidents" that result in serious injuries and even death seem to get away with much lenient penalties. Wish the courts start issuing stiffer penalties to people who find it acceptable to shoot at sounds resulting in human injury/casualty
 
I am not sure I understand, Natives walk free when charged? Or poaching? Illegal is illegal, race doesn't matter.... What am I missing?
