Instagram's 'Mr. Adventure' accused of illegally killing bears in Yukon

medvedqc said:
the two black bears are not one in the fall and one in the spring both can be taken yearly in the fall or in the spring.

indeed for your last sentence but for some people playing by the rules if for others the same for the ones caught on dui or other things ...

Maybe they'll recruit him to help with the Sydney island cull. What he's accussed of doing, seems pretty greasy. Not being from Yukon, not sure if those are open seasons, limits.....etc.

By posting on Instagram, appears to be for some sort of profit, but not sure how. Publicized for this reason, not the right identity group, and to obviously promote closing of the Yukon Grizzly Hunt. Can't accurately comment on his guilt/innocence, I'm sure the process of being charged and Publicized hasn't been fun. Stupid should hurt.

Maybe the noted above video will answer some questions. I don't care for the wildlife advocate, wildlife infractions is not a crime, as she mentioned. Such infractions are not in Martins Annual Criminal Code.

i do not know a lot but he broke cites under Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act and Canada Wildlife Act that can led to some criminal charges ... depending on the crown of course ... and may be charge again under those acts as an individual and also as a small revenue corporation but im not the crown ...

I believe there is a Canadian Wildlife Act that he may be charged under, however I'm dubious about the criminal code. Regardless of what the law states, I personally don't believe that wildlife infractions should be classified as criminal.

And if he went to the US with the bear parts, he can be charged under the Lacey Act, which can also lead to felony (criminal) charges.

the lacey act will be another one maybe to deal with but i did not went to court to check all the charges but we will hear soon about even if he is pleading guilty ...

I'm not going that distance to query the acts. Only point I made, is that: I don't believe that a wildlife infraction should be classified as criminal. Hunters are licensed to kill animals. Humans who kill humans is "criminal", not wildlife.

There are many different crimes under the criminal code of Canada. Common assult for example: a person slaps another person, that is common assult, a crime. A person slaps a deer, it's not a crime, probably a charge under the wildlife act for harassing wildlife. It's not a crime to commit an offence to wildlife, only a person.

well if it is going to court and the 19 charges presented you will discover that crimes are not only for person assaulting or killing a person and trying to bring any cites parts to another country is a crime among other things... look up the 2 acts i gave you in references and dig into those acts you might find what i talking about aside of what we or you like on the outcome of what is a crime or not.

No, you f'd that up royally. A crime is any offence contrary to governing laws. A criminal charge is what Americans call a felony. Petty shoplifting is a crime, but not a criminal offence in Canada. A DUI is a criminal offence in Canada, but not in the US.

And yes, you can be charged criminally in Canada for things related to wildlife, Environment Canada will lay charges.

When I mention crime, it's ment criminal offence. Weather it is a summary conviction or inditable, it's still a criminal offence, under the criminal code of Canada. A wildlife infration should not be prosecuted as a criminal offence.
