    Oh ok cool now we are ok with mentioning where law-breaking individuals are from? Keep it up I suppose. 

    Edit: I’m in favour of doing so but then do it for all crimes, all countries, and all temporary visas.

    “.. To hunt for moose in Ontario, a non-resident has two options — to hunt as a registered guest of a tourist outfitter under a tag issued by the outfitter, or to hunt in a party with a resident who is an immediate relative and who holds both a moose licence and a tag…” 

    In light of these specific requirements, why weren’t the residents that were responsible for these poachers also charged for their negligent accomplice actions?

  3. slap on the wrist. imagine if this happened down in the states? You think the punishment would be just a fine? Time to make an example out of these clowns

  4. In case you get the wrong impression from the headline, that’s $27,500 total, for three people.

    As Americans, will they even pay the fine, or just scurry back to their rathole?

    … so that’s now the established market price for a moose in Ontario?

    I mean, look at that beauty! I feel he’s worth much, much more than that…

  6. Fine and deport these people. Ban them from reentry to Canada for X numbers of years.  If the situation was reversed, they’d do no less to us and probably far more

  7. Poaching is what “illegal moose hunting” is called. We already have a word that describes this action. Wtf happened to journalism??

    I feel like there’s more to this, like shady guides that are enabling this crap.

  9. All these ignorant Americans coming to our country thinking they are above the law🤮

    Deport them back to their shx*thole!!
