Is THAT All? Man gets 10 days in jail for bison killing
I'll tell ya what buddy bwoy (AKA 'punk little F*** Face'!)
Leave the gun @ home BIG MAN, and meet me in the arena... No waiting for 'High Noon'. NOW! We've got a score to settle.
DENVER, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- A 45-year-old Texas man will spend 10 days in jail in Park County, Colo., for masterminding the killing of 32 bison last year, a judge says.
Park County District Judge Stephen Groome ruled this week Texas businessman Jeffrey Hawn earned a reduced sentence on a cruelty to animals charge due to a deal with the district attorney's office, The Denver Post said Thursday.
Hawn had been accused of organizing the shooting deaths of the bison last February and March.
The bison had been owned by rancher Monte Downare of Colorado's South Park region, but had apparently wandered onto Hawn's property.
Groome said while handing down his sentence Wednesday he was disturbed by the fact that some of the animals were killed by up to eight bullets.
"What I find really disturbing is that these animals definitely suffered," the judge said.
The Post said Hawn offered an apology in court prior to being sentenced.
"With the benefit of hindsight, I made a lot of mistakes," he told the court.

Animal Liberation Front Special Operations Porcupines Terrorize US Town
DENVER, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- A sudden influx of porcupines to Mountain Village, Colo., has caused more than $100,000 in damage to area landscaping, area residents say.
Mountain Village homeowner Vicki Irwin said while porcupines have been routine visitors to the home rule municipality, recent arrivals have taken to gnawing bark off scores of area spruce trees, The Denver Post said Friday."I've seen porcupines around her for years, but they've never been so aggressive," she said. "It's all just a mystery."
Mountain Village community relations director Nichole Zangara said since no definitive answer has been determined as to the change in the animals' behavior, there have been no solid solutions.
Among the theories postulated for the porcupines' destructive actions are increased porcupine appetites due to last year's hard winter or the lack of predatory bobcats in the area.
The Post said the increased planting of spruce trees by area residents could play a role as porcupines have an affinity for them. [Source]
