Should give them the same treatment taste their own medicine.

Punish only for killing late because I don't get the point of many organizations/animal welfares that are fighting for protecting certain animals and birds while people horribly killing and eating thousands of cow,goat,chicken,pig,deer,camels....etc ?? but all have life

Oh nice...finally the government made money out of the murderers. All nine guys should have got a jail term

By the way this fine goes to the courts or to some animal welfare society that fought for this crime?????
DillonDP Tuesday, 12 April 2016 08:24 AM
Santhosh these are endangered species not the chicken pig and cow... we need the meat for our survival, and growth,,, no wonder since you dont eat so ur brain is still at primitive stages....

ACTUALLY WE MUST TRAIN OUR PEOPLE TO EAT VENOMOUS SNAKES, LIKE CHINESE.

Its not about compassion. These people killed an rare, endangered, protected species by law. Last time I checked, cow,goat,chicken,pig are not protected by law.

An indication of the ever increasing dangerous trends that are now in visible in every day life, There are many who have become vicious in order to continue with their illicit lives , where now the curt back in excess spending by the government means less pilfering opportunities available to them.
