Terry Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Yeah, a lodge or a guide should be punished far more then an individual 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrowMan Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Given the extent of their actions in falsifying documents...beyond the Fish & Game Act violations, they should've also been criminally charged with Fraud under the Criminal Code. That would have provided for a far more reaching punishment, than basically what is the equivalent of a speeding ticket or similar under the Highway Traffic Act. Although they received fines and suspensions, they get off with no criminal record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I agree , I gave an explanation as to why they are cheating, in no way said they should do it As a matter of fact I said they should have had greater punishment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walltrout Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 When a natural resource is raped does it matter if that group had the right to do it. Nature doesn't care about politics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about lifetime ban They lost their bear management and Outfitters moose shares indefinitely, that's a huge financial hit for a tourist outfitter. Without that revenue I highly doubt they keep their lodge and outposts but will continue to run the air service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
