A $15k fine and only a 3 year hunting ban in Canada. Why not a smaller fine and a lifetime ban on hunting.

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.

He would have gotten off lighter if he had assaulted a person.

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.
