Poachers need harsher punishments.

[@Wendigo613]

Yes this is ridiculous. Specially for a company. Shoulda been fined at least 25k

[@Francois_Dupont]

@@Wendigo613 250,000$

[@briandufoe3719]

Banned for life is the best penalty and if non-Canadian banned from Canada 🇨🇦

[@kevinvardy5039]

Can’t imagine why someone would want to hunt a dump bear.

[@Wendigo613]

Cuz they clearly don’t even eat them.

[@ironblud]

The outfitter didn’t get charged enough. What is the name of the outfitter?

[@markpilon1797]

What a joke.. outfitter should have lost his BMA's.(bear management areas) with a bigger monetary fine...

[@user9b2]

The fine should have ten time more.

[@Wendigo613]

Yep 25k

[@Wendigo613]

Especially for a “company”

[@leonardmacaulay9833]

As a “Real” sportsperson I believe in the right to Arm Bears !

[@Joemamarickroll]

Idiots . Leave the bears alone !!!

[@KCBarr1]

Why didn't the outfitter lose their license too? It was one of their employees that assisted this "hunter", or may even have been directly responsible for this behavior.

[@1990SButter]

what about immigrants fishing with nets??

[@oh_k8]

Tell me more....

[@Francois_Dupont]

all that and only 5000$ ticket? lol what a joke.

[@timeandmaterialsdanforth5511]

So inflation sure hasn't his these fines yet..

[@StanTheMan-us3tp]

Small fine, was the outfitter license cancelled?

[@Wendigo613]

Of course not

[@turnbank3492]

Thats great now how about the fines for netting salmon with a bed sheet

[@joywebster2678]

Need to promote and recognize our C.Os more in Ontario

[@Wendigo613]

Why , when the only penalty is a 1500$ fine

[@joywebster2678]

@Wendigo613 what? Our COs monitor tree health, animal welfare, all kinds of things. I worked near them in far northern Ontario. I was nursing at a remote hospital, the COs were out tracking invasive budworms. OPP worked tracking illegal bear stands and baiting with them. I'm simply praising theircwirk since so few know of them, and u pipe up about " fines"?

[@routerider9542]

Unsportsmanlike conduct...Fine is appropriate as any hunter should know the regulations...

[@darrelldoran509]

Lets make the canadian news a bit more interesting and have Ted Nugent weigh in ?

[@blazingstar9638]

THANK YOU!!❤ 🥺 poor bears

[@mikesarahmccourts6509]

I agree we need harsher punishment for this. The hunt camp owners got off easy compared to what their doing. No wonder they opened the camp next to the disposal site they should be shut down period that’s disgusting talk about shooting fish in a barrel, what chance do they have? They are just trying to live!

[@dontworryaboutit273]

Love that they put a grizzly in the thumbnail lol

[@DeborahRobinson9Lopez-h1s]

Thompson Betty Rodriguez Brian Young Carol

[@Wendigo613]

What????
