Why wouldn't they report it? Did they do anything wrong? Protecting livestock. The public needs to be made aware of this stuff, or they'll be calling for more "reintroduction"
For a free country, there's a lot of SS&S attitudes and fear of the law down there.....lol
while you are free to do what you want
like anywhere else
the law gets misused , abused , and police and judges regularly have an agenda , not all of them but if it is 1% everyone has heard of that story.
I had a youth in shooting sports who wanted to be a DNR warden , he was serios about it until. He was turkey hunting and he shot a tom , just as the trigger was breaking another tom stuck it's head our from behind a big oak where he wasn't even seen and it was directly in line with the first toms head. all on private property.
1 shot , 2 toms about 25 yards apart , an almost impossible shot but it happened only a few pellets even hit that second tom but they hit right in the head.
wanting to do the "right" thing he called it in and explained what happened figured the warden would take the 2nd turkey and donate it to the food pantry or something.
Nope he lost both turkeys and was not treated well and he will NEVER do the "right" thing again. That warden took a kid who was serios about wanting to go to school and become a warden and they broke that.
now there is some question what is the right thing, well we should take a lesson from our ancestors , who fought the crown for our rights.
FIRST it is the burden of the state to prove the guilt of the accused.
SECOND anything you say to the law CAN and WILL be used against you.
it is your right to shut up , it is your right to not self incriminate and it is on the state to prove everything.
so that starts to sound like shut up about anything you did and make them prove you did it now doesn't it.
I am going to guess we could fill a thread with the numerous stories from those here on the forum about them trying to do the "right" thing
as to that "right" right for who the government cause certainly not the officers who would immediately seek union council for anything they did questionable or not who will make limited statements through council only.
SO right for the prosecution to make their jobs easy I suppose.
we should take the lesson from James Madison who wrote the 4th and 5th amendments to the US constitution that is what Right is under the eyes of the constitution.
