Law Enforcement News

Post by silverking »

Tried to upload a press release on a Thomasville, GA seafood company getting sentenced for selling illegally harvested fish, but can't seem to cut and paste the PDF file.

Saved as another file. See the letter in the next post.

Looks like a slap on the wrist to me!! They made a whole lot more money than the fines are :smt012

agreed. Meanwhile they're implementing all types of recreational fishing closures. Might not have to if the fines coincided with the damages and were used to replenish the resource. At least they are felons, and in theory, shouldn't be shooting land based game going forward.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.
