99-703 - Yosemite NP (CA) - Poaching
On September 18th, a ranger in the Mather District heard shots coming
from inside the park near the boundary and contacted Nai Saefong and
two juveniles shortly thereafter. The three were armed with a hunting
rifle, shotguns and handguns, and were in possession of dead
squirrels. On November 23rd, Saefong appeared in magistrate's court in
the park and pled guilty to hunting, possession of dead animals (16 USC 60 and 62), and possession of weapons (36 CFR 2.4). Saefong was
fined $500 and placed on a year's probation. The weapons were
forfeited to the government for destruction. Also forfeited were
Saefong's California hunting license, ammunition, and other associated
hunting items. Under federal juvenile delinquency provisions, the two
juveniles will be referred to the county for prosecution.
[Beth Stockdale, Acting Prosecutor, YOSE, 11/24]
Once again, they seem to have a problem with crime and punishment. (Still in 36 CFR)
These poaching hunters were in a much more scary and dangerous position in regards to public safety, in my opinion. They definitely put others besides themselves at risk, (stray bullets).
And they were KILLING KILLING KILLING!!!
And yet Saefong was only fined $500!!
(They did have their gear confiscated).
Parachutes are made to SAVE LIVES,
guns are made to KILL!!
Wake up America!!
