The saddest part, (other than this pathetic excuse for a human being), is that he'll have a 1000.00 fine that he won't pay and 1000 hours of community service that he won't do...There's just no teeth in any of these Wildlife Laws.... :sk: ](*,) :(

It's a darned shame significant punishment is not given for people who treat nature like this. :(

I always thought that if reincarnartion as animal were true, I would want to be reincarnated as hawk. Fly fast, dive bomb critters, and crap on people's heads ... you know, the good things in life.

Why wait, I already started.
I've always wanted to come back as a Cactus Wren. They have huevos, aren't afraid of much, small enough that most things aren't gonna waste their time to kill and eat, brave, smart and have attitude.

This was statewide front-page news in NJ today. From the description of his arraignment, he seems unintelligent and perhaps not fully grounded in normal reality. Unfortunately, it also sounds like they don't have ironclad proof. He puts out seed, he's been recorded sticking a gun out the door, he's been recorded looking with binoculars, and the deaths cluster around him. However, they didn't allege in the hearing that anyone witnessed or recorded him shooting anything. Either they have something that hasn't been announced, or they decided what they have now is enough to proceed and even without a conviction, the charges alone may be enough to deter further killings.
