"POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) -- Two men have switched their pleas to guilty in the killing of a yearling grizzly bear in eastern Idaho and the destruction of a radio telemetry collar attached to the bear's mother. They face jail time and up to a $100,000 fine each.

Tim Brown, 38, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor Thursday in U.S. District Court in Pocatello for shooting the bear in 2002 with a rifle. He faces up to 6 months in jail, a year of supervised probation and up to a $100,000 fine plus restitution."

Only six months though? At least they have a fine. :( So they killed a baby bear or the bear's mother?
