Poaching case includes mandatory Bambi viewings

Hopefully some animal lovers in prison will teach this fool a lesson or two. They only took the heads and left the bodies.

Four members of a southwest Missouri family have been caught in a multi-year poaching case where authorities say hundreds of deer were killed illegally.

“The deer were trophy bucks taken illegally, mostly at night, for their heads, leaving the bodies of the deer to waste," said Lawrence County Prosecuting Attorney Don Trotter.


Conservation agents are calling it one of Missouri's largest cases of deer poaching.


The case was so egregious that Lawrence County Judge Robert George ordered a special addition to the jail time one of the poachers received.


Court records show the defendant "is to view the Walt Disney movie Bambi, with the first viewing being on or before December 23, 2018, and at least one such viewing each month thereafter, during Defendants incarceration in the Lawrence County Jail."

Disney may respond. They are very litigious. I'm not sure they want their brand associated with punishment.

poaching is abhorrent...............there is a reason for laws against it.
Suffer the fools. I say let 'em rot

If this family was taking the deer for meat I wouldn't have much problem.

This is not what the Bible contemplates by "dominion over the animals".

Disgusting and very common.

A few years back, a large poaching ring was busted in Oregon-Washington that was responsible for wanton killing of many dozens of trophy animals. Just makes your heart ache.
