Wedge-tailed eagle killing in Gippsland
So, a******* kills 420 wedge tailed eagles and gets off on 14 days jail and $2500 fine, when the prescribed penalty is $8K for the first, and then $800 per "illegally" killed bird - htf is this reasonable? Am I missing something?

Re: Wedge-tailed eagle killing in Gippsland
Absolutely ******* disgusting... both the act itself and the punishment
Pretty much just a slap on the wrist. Should be good to go cruelly slay more iconic aussie birds after a cruisey 2 weeks in a minimum security prison.

The sentence is manifestly inadequate, I'm surprised the greenies haven't appealed let alone normal folk.

Poor form wonder what his motivation was? Stock losses perhaps still doesn't justify the disgusting behaviour.

Wtf. How discraceful. He should be named and shamed. With all legislation and regulations in place why did the judge let him off so easily

It certainly seems as though he was let of easily there is a lot more to this story. The big fish is the one they want.

"A department spokesman said on Monday night that the investigation into the deaths was ongoing."
Even after being charged ? seems like a lot more to this case than what's been reported..
