FRESNO, Calif. - A hunter was ordered to pay $20,000 Friday and sentenced to five years probation for killing an endangered California condor.
Britton Cole Lewis, 29, pleaded guilty in May to shooting the condor, North America' s largest land bird according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
" I can honestly say I knew nothing about these condors," Lewis told a magistrate judge before sentencing. " I sincerely wish I could take back what I' ve done."
Since 1992, five California condors have been shot and killed. Nearly 200 remain alive today, including 79 in the wild.
Lewis also was fined and sentenced to three years probation for killing a white-tailed deer in Illinois in 2001. Lewis pleaded guilty to falsely saying he was a resident to obtain a hunting permit there. It became a federal crime when he brought the deer' s mounted head to California in April 2002
[:@]This ticks me off beyond words! This crap-for-brains is not a hunter. He' s a criminal. Big difference! He should never be able to hunt or own guns in any state again. I' d like to know who the reporter was who wrote the article, so I could point out the difference to him.[:@]
