A father and son who operate a large potato farm in northern Wisconsin have agreed to pay $100,000 in restitution in connection with the poisoning deaths of more than 70 wild animals, including at least two bald eagles.

Alvin C. Sowinski, 65, and Paul A. Sowinski, 46, of the Town of Sugar Camp in Oneida County, also face penalties of up to $100,000 each and up to a year in prison at their sentencing in May, according to the U.S. attorney’s office for the western district in Madison.

...

It’s worth noting that Alvin and Paul Sowinski (along with their spouses) have donated thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and elected officials over the years, including Rep. Tom Tiffany, former State Rep. Scott Suder, former Gov. Tommy Thompson, and current Gov. Scott Walker (SOURCE).

1. No Scuba, not at all surprised. Hoping these Repuke donors end up in graybar hotel.

Perhaps they won't have the $$ to contribute to Wanker now!
I find it ironic that they killed two beautiful symbols of American freedom among other innocent animals.

The fines and prison are not near enough a punishment for the Sowinskis. These are horrible acts!!!

2. I'm betting they'll pay symbolic fines and go back to their evil ways.

3. O yeah, this incident could/would not change their sociopathic personalities.

They are prob sitting around boozing & blaming the left wing dems for the fact that they got caught.

*prayer*, May the spiritual talons of the eagles prey & rip apart the Sowiniskis' "evil ways" and evil days!! May karma come around quickly for them (that nasty sociopathic family)!
