Powderburn,

Easier on the eyes to read....

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, Sept. 9 /CNW Telbec/ - Four hunters from High
Point, North Carolina were fined $27,000 today in Saskatoon Provincial Court
after pleading guilty to nine counts of violating federal and provincial
wildlife legislation. The hunters will also donate $4,000 to the Environmental
Damages Fund in exchange for the return of some equipment. Additional
equipment with an estimated value of $10,500 was forfeited, including firearms
and clothing.
Arthur Corpening, John Corpening, Arch Schoch IV and Fred Ingram Jones
pled guilty to violations under the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act and
the Saskatchewan Wildlife Act, including taking a protected species, killing
over the daily limit, and hunting with toxic (lead) shot.
The charges were laid by Environment Canada and Saskatchewan Environment
in October 2003, following a joint investigation of a waterfowl hunting trip
the men took to north central Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan Wildlife Act provides for maximum penalties of $100,000
per offence. The maximum penalty on summary conviction for each violation
under the Migratory Birds Convention Act is $50,000 and/or six months in jail.

The Environmental Damages Fund helps ensure violators take responsibility
for their actions. It gives courts a way to guarantee that the money from
penalties and settlements is directly invested to repair the actual harm done.
