Poachers Busted: Online Photos Held Clues

Posted on 14 July 2008

Here is an interesting story about some bear poachers who were caught by the Ontario MNR in an unusual way. The Chronicle Journal reports that,

Two Northwestern Ontario men have been fined a total of $2,300 for killing a black bear during the closed season and leaving it to rot after investigators found pictures of people posing with the spoils on the Internet. Entire Chronicle Journal Article Here

It’s nice to see poachers get caught. If you need to report possible poaching situations please call: 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667).

*The TIPS-MNR reporting line is not an emergency response telephone number.   If you are calling to report public safety matters please call 911 or the police.
