SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife employee has been accused of poaching.
The Spokesman-Review reports the Ferry County prosecutor last month charged Fish and Wildlife north-central region director Brock Hoenes with unlawful hunting of big game in the second degree. If convicted, there is a maximum penalty of one year in jail, a $5,000 fine or both.
Court documents say Hoenes “on or about” Nov. 13 illegally killed an animal in Ferry County.
No further details were included in the document.
Hoenes told the newspaper this week that he reported the incident immediately after realizing he made “the mistake” and said he couldn’t comment further because of the court case.
Exposing the Big Game 
Another example of why complete abolition of all Animal exploitation( eg hunting,zoos,etc) should be Animal Rights/Vegans only goal. “Regulating” immoral acts does not work, period.
Good point.
Reminds me of an incident in Idaho several years ago in which one of the Fish & Game Commissioners gained notoriety for slaughtering a whole family of monkeys. He may have circulated the photo himself — posed, grinning, with the corpses of mom & dad monkey, a teenage monkey, and an infant. He was forced to leave the commission, but he never showed remorse and seemed completely bewildered about why there was a fuss. Given that appointees to these commissions are the most enthusiastic and hard-core killers, it’s not surprising that their personal practices are vomit-worthy. And the same deviance and malevolence infects state and federal wildlife “management” personnel. That’s why we need a complete makeover of wildlife “management.”
The very notion of wildlife “management’ is vomit-worthy.
Yup. “Management” is their term for manipulation of populations to allow maximum exploitation. I despise their doubletalk.
