My older neighbor came over and was probably talking about the same article and she asked me, "Why do you hunters hunt like that". It is people like the ones that got caught that give us all a bad name.

I am sure the justice system will let us down as it always does.

The "justice" system,,,,aka the court system is getting better with fish/wildlife related decisions.

For example, if you follow the court case hearings regarding sturgeon poaching on the lower Fraser River you will see very strict fines, boat/truck seizures and in the last 2 years - JAIL time. Aside from the absolutely ridicoulous night-hunting decision on the Island, judges are on average becoming more educated as they face more of these illegal hunting/fishing activities. Fish/Wildlife officers and the CROWN need to educate judges on the severity of these offences, especially when it relates to a Blue or Red listed species: ie. one that is or could become extinct.

I say they forfeit the wildlife, guns, send them to jail for 30 days and suspend thier hunting licence privileges for LIFE.

Clare Ogilvie, The Province

Published: Tuesday, June 19, 2007
WHISTLER -- Three men from Richmond are facing charges under the Wildlife Act after police found a loaded weapon in their van and two dead deer.
"One of the does was pregnant with a fawn and we presume the other one left a fawn behind," said conservation officer Chris Doyle.
Deer-hunting season does not start until the fall and, in the Pemberton area, where it is likely the shooting took place, does are never in season. "We're asking anyone who heard shots in and around the Pemberton Meadows area on [June] 13 or 14 or has information to call us," said Doyle.
