An American hunter who abused wounded birds in Western Canada and videotaped his antics is facing a $15,000 fine and a three-year hunting ban in Canada.
Jeffery Burdett Foiles, 54, of Pleasant Hill, Illinois, pleaded guilty in an Edmonton court Wednesday to causing unnecessary pain and suffering to a duck, contrary to the Criminal Code.

Sounds like fowl play to me.
I guess he isn’t quacking up?
A $15k fine and only a 3 year hunting ban in Canada. Why not a smaller fine and a lifetime ban on hunting.
With mallards aforethought
Just wow.
Amongst the hillbillies, the biggest shame is a ‘dirty kill’.
I’m not sure what they’d consider torturing the wounded critter... Maybe a mortal sin.
One rather good thing about ubiquitous video recording equipment and other technology is that ABSOLUTE MORONS feel compelled to video or photograph or text their crimes.

Oh, touche sir or madam. Well done.
I love that one... funny...

They figure he is dumb enough to come back in 3 years then they can ‘soak’ him for 30 thou....or more
he IS dumb enough...he’s a FIB...
He would have gotten off lighter if he had assaulted a person.
Most excellent!!!!
He doesn’t deserve the title of hunter.
People who torture animals usually move on to torturing people sooner or later. I wouldn’t want my family to live too close to this guy!

I clicked on the link thinking this was the usual animal rights B-S.
This fellow ain’t right.
I really enjoyed duck hunting as a young man. I’m content these days to just get close and watch them. Try stalking wild ducks. That’ll tell you if you’re a good Indian or not.
