Missouri poacher ordered to repeatedly watch 'Bambi' as part of sentence

A Missouri poacher has been ordered to repeatedly watch the movie "Bambi" as part of his sentence in a scheme to illegally kill hundreds of deer.

David Berry Jr. was ordered to watch the Disney classic at least once a month during his year-long jail sentence in what conservation agents have called one of the largest deer poaching cases in state history, the Springfield News-Leader reports.

"The deer were trophy bucks taken illegally, mostly at night, for their heads, leaving the bodies of the deer to waste," said Don Trotter, the prosecuting attorney in Lawrence County.

Berry, his father, two brothers and another man who helped them had their hunting, fishing and trapping privileges revoked temporarily or permanently. The men have paid a combined $51,000 in fines and court costs — but the judge ordered a special addition to Berry's sentence for illegally taking wildlife.

2. NOT STRONG ENOUGH SENTENCE. Cut off both his trigger fingers.

i say ~~~> Cut off both his trigger fingers. i know he'd use his other fingers to fire a gun but maybe not having his "trigger fingers" for the rest of his life might make him think about his monstrous slaughter of deer.

make them all pay MILLIONS OF $$$$ in fines.

I hope he gets sick of that film, and never wants to shoot a gun again as long as he lives.
