In other words, Hawn is an ignorant big-city jerk who knowingly bought land next to an open-range buffalo ranch, didn’t fence his property properly and then killed and DISPOSED of his neighbors livestock.
In Texas, that is known as cattle rustling...
Investigators allege that in a letter dated Feb. 25, Hawn authorized the slaughter by members of the Aztlan Native Community of Gardner.
He told the group he wanted them “to get started as quickly as possible.
In the arrest warrant, investigators say the bulk of the bison — 14 — were killed on the property of Catherine Primm.
Eight were killed on Bureau of Land Management property; four on U.S. Forest Service property; three on the property of Robert Lemm; and three on Hawn’s ranch.
