aa Illegal elk shooting

[B] sorry I posted this on KY board by accident. Similiar thread here on hunting.

Frankfort, Ky.[/B] – Conservation Officers with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources are investigating the illegal shooting of four young Leslie County bull elk in the early morning hours last Sunday, Jan. 4. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife is seeking information from anyone who may know details of the illegal shooting.
Sgt. Greg Watts said someone shot the three spike bulls and a young 4 x 4 bull elk near an older reclaimed strip mine near the community of Trace Branch just off KY 699, not far from Hyden and Hazard. The perpetrators left the elk to die.
Watts says ballistic evidence recovered at the scene is being analyzed. He requests that anyone with information about the crime to call the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife poaching hotline at 1 -800-25-ALERT (1-800-252-5378). [

that is just horible. hope the lock them up and throw away the key on them.

There needs to be JUSTICE here !!!!!!!!!!! Anyone with imformation should step up to the plate.........................

I agree, they should hang them. But you watch if they do get caught they will get in more trouble than if they killed a person.

What in the world makes you think that? Too many of our judges in this state take it very easy on game law violations.

Tim, he was not degrading what was done, But I think he is right. More times than not, more time is given for robbery and things in that nature than murder. That has been the result of devaluing human life. MOSt game violations are not taken to heart by the judicial system thats a fact but when money and animals are deemed more or equal than human life,thats where the line needs to be drawn. Personally,I think murder should be a death penalty offense, right along with rape. I do hope these clowns are caught and the light of day never to be seen by them again.
