From the Criminal Code. "Manslaughter is culpable homicide that is not murder. A culpable homicide is a blame worthy action that results in the death of another person." I can see the Crown appealing the decision on grounds of misapplication of the law.
The more I think about this the more upset I get.
It's called binoculars ! Maybe I'm a little out to lunch but if you see branches shaking or hear a twig snap and your first thought is to pull the trigger, you're in the wrong sport.
Flier or not, if you're using a shotgun then you need to be extra careful because there is more than one projectile.
And finally, the comments about it being the woman's fault are totally inappropriate. She was on public land, doing something that is not prevented by the law. I don't care if you only get two weeks to hunt out of 52, we as hunters are responsible for our own actions. We bitck and complain about the government controlling us with too many hunting regulations and firearms legislation and then you guys come on here and call for more rules and regulations.
