So Sad so very sad....these animals belong behind bars, before they go any further. This truly angers me and I would turn them in, in a heart beat. Friend or no friend. To the people who might be reading this and know them..DO THE RIGHT THING you could save them from a far worst fate.
 
Just watched the news, they're back in court this afternoon to be sentenced, the maximun for the wildlife offenses is $300,000.00 fine and jail time, didin't say anything about any other charges. Although they didn't mention that hunters started this ourcry, the news finally mentioned that hunters were extremely upset at the activities of these idiots.
 
The bastards have been NAMED!

Three Saskatchewan men charged after a YouTube video showed ducklings being shot illegally have indicated to a judge they intend to plead guilty.

David Fraser, James Fraser and Jeremy Rowlands made a brief appearance in Saskatoon provincial court Monday morning and are scheduled to be back in court in the afternoon.

They've been charged with violating federal and provincial wildlife protection laws. One of the men told the judge Monday morning they want to deal with their charges as soon as possible, suggesting guilty pleas are in the offing.

The video, which has been viewed more than 60,000 times on the popular website, shows the men repeatedly firing a rifle at waterfowl swimming on ponds, sometimes firing from inside a car.

In one part of the four-minute video, the carcass of one bird is repeatedly blasted by one of the men. Giggling can be heard throughout.

Initially, officials thought the video had been shot in southwestern Alberta or southeastern Saskatchewan, but it was later determined to have been filmed in Saskatchewan.

The men are from the Cudworth area, about 75 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon. Officials believe the birds were shot in the same area.


Among the illegal activities visible in the video is the shooting of birds out of season and shooting birds swimming on the water, he said.

The men are charged with a total of 15 counts of violating the Saskatchewan Wildlife Act and the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act.

All three are charged with hunting migratory birds out of season and using a rifle to hunt migratory birds, careless discharge of a firearm and allowing edible game to be wasted.

Rowlands is additionally charged with discharging a firearm from a vehicle.

Ah yes, the classic "I'm from Toronto, I didn't know any better " defense. They're done, but not as "DONE" as we like to see. People don't fry for wildlife offenses.

Jeremy Rowlands (car shooter) . James Fraser (the guy with that chainsaw smile) , & David Fraser (the giddy fat ####) are brothers.

David said was sorry. Sorry for what?

Getting caught?

Missing breakfast?

They've been sentenced....

SASKATOON — A Saskatoon judge has ordered three men to pay a total of $16,000 in fines after they admitted to shooting birds and posting a video of the crimes on the Internet.

On Monday afternoon, David Fraser, 30, his 23-year-old brother James Fraser, and their brother-in-law Jeremy Rowlands pleaded guilty to all charges laid against them in connection with the incident.

All three were charged with careless use of a firearm, allowing game flesh to be spoiled or wasted, illegally hunting ducks and grebes out of season, and illegally hunting migratory bird with a rifle. Rowlands also faced a charge of firing a gun from a vehicle.

Provincial court Judge Doug Agnew ordered David and James Fraser to each pay a $5,000 fine, and slapped Rowlands with a $6,000 fine.

Agnew said what the men did was "stupid, reckless, irresponsible, and probably a lot of other adjectives as well."

The men, who live in Cudworth, northeast of Saskatoon, told Agnew they had recently moved to Saskatchewan from Ontario. They're city people, they said, and didn't realize what they were doing was wrong.

On Monday morning, a Crown prosecutor told the court the three men planned to plead guilty to the charges that day. The judge told them they were free to seek legal advice and could change their minds in the meantime, telling the trio there was “no pressure on you at all to dispose of this matter today.”

Conservation officers who attended court told reporters the charges each carry maximum fines of $300,000 and six months in jail. There is no minimum sentence.

The men were charged after media coverage about the YouTube video prompted an investigation and a flood of tips to the province’s anti-poaching line from outraged members of the public.

In an interview with the Calgary Sun over the weekend, David Fraser said the men “honestly didn’t know it was a crime . . . and we’re very sorry about it.”

As they left the courthouse this morning, the men declined comment and tried to hide their faces from a throng of reporters.

The three were arrested Saturday morning, facing charges under federal and provincial wildlife protection laws. Ministry of Environment conservation officers and Environment Canada wildlife enforcement officers made the arrests.

The four-minute video emerged earlier this week on YouTube and showed three men giggling while gunning down ducklings from a parked car.

The video sparked widespread public outrage and prompted the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta and the Canadian Humane Society to offer rewards for information that could help authorities identify the three men.

I am shocked they plead guilty to the criminal code charge of Careless use of a firearm, that is serious stuff. The Federal / provincial statute stuff is minor, with very little previous case history of in custody sentences. I would have like to have seen a Section 109 order / weapons prohibition. That would be appropriate.

I do applaud them for taking their lumps, most would have got a lawyer, dragged it out for a bit and got a reduced sentence.

that's nothing compared to what they should get.


If any one of us where to simply shoot from inside a vehicle i bet we would lose our guns, our vehicle, and our rights to hunt.

They got enough! Now as sport hunters we have distance ourselves from $hitheads like this. This whole thing came to a head because of Canada's sport hunting and shooting community. We as hunters and shooters should be mighty proud of ourselves!
