Are they saying that she was allowed to kill the sheep but as she only kept the meat of 2 of the sheep and a bit of the 3rd ergo the crime?
Not trying in any way to diminish or accept the wrong doings here but basically, WTF really happened?
Poaching ? I don't see that ?
IMO The 'poaching' reference is by the reporter/paper, his own slant.
Agreed, there may be more to the story, plea bargaining or whatever, but they found one that stuck to the wall when thrown
'edible portions' is pretty weak but The milestone is that a charge was laid and ran its course.
The edible portions and animal wastage/utilization rules in BC are a joke compared to the Yukon
Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole
