For his sixth arrest, Crain on Dec. 12 stood in front of a pick-up truck that was carrying a dead bear and was trying to leave the Whittingham Wildlife Management Area in Fredon, Sussex County, said his attorney, Daniel Perez. The area has a legally required weigh-in station where hunters bring bears after shooting them.

 

His SIXTH arrest?  And a $1500 fine?  Hardly a deterrent.  At what point do they start imparting something more significant??!!?

The guy is obviously mentally i'll.. I don't think jail is the proper place for him.. Besides, if he goes to jail we tax payers will be footing the bill.. "F" that.. let him pay and walk..

Hope he's earned a place on the terrorist watch list.

[JHbowhunter]

this is all they have... I tried with several of them on several forums, to debate them with facts...  Once you give them something that can't possibly be argued, they vanish... They can't win in the arena of ideas and facts - so protesting is ALL they have...   Sorta sad, in a way...

Professor from NY? Perhaps he should go protest at Cornell University in NY and leave us along in NJ. see article below:

 

 

 

The failure of Cornell University’s “birth control for deer” experiment is an example of how traditional hunting practices are more sound than ideologically driven wildlife management decisions.

In 2009 the university’s main campus in Ithaca, New York, was practically overrun with white-tailed deer. While traditional deer management plans would include culling the herd through hunting, the university decided on a different approach. According to the Washington Post, the university bowed to anti-hunting sensibilities and decided to combine cost-effective hunting practices for off-campus deer with expensive surgeries for on-campus deer. A total of 77 does were captured and sterilized by tubal ligation at a cost of about $1,200 per deer.

While tubal ligation is an effective birth control method for humans or captive animals, it doesn’t work so well on wild animals. Why? Because they move.

In fact, the sterilization had an unintended consequence: Because the does could not get pregnant, they entered heat month after month, and this brought more bucks onto the campus.

After all the time and energy spent on the program, the number of deer slightly increased. Finally, in 2014, a program to remove “nuisance deer” was instituted that combined trapping with hunting by volunteer archers. At last count this far cheaper program was a success, with the deer population dropping from around 100 to about 58.

This should serve as an example of the role of hunting in wildlife management. It’s effective, it’s cheaper, and it manages the population without causing unexpected problems. Now can someone please explain that to the anti-hunting activists?

His sixth arrest just for this. I remember when he lived in the town I work for. The town wanted to replace an existing parking lot for a school. He thought it should be a field of grass. He told the town he was going to plant a tree in the middle of the lot. He said he was going to plant a tree on a certain date at a certain time. Well,the police were waiting, he showed up with a sapling and a shovel. The

Olive told him he would be arrested if he broke apart the lot. After a few shovel strikes, the cuffs were on him. This guy is an attention whore.

And he's allowed to teach children. I would think the university that he works at would tire of this. I know that if I had an employee that got arrested once a year, he/she wouldn't work for me long.

Actually, most colleges and universities are bastions of liberal thought and these kinds of things are encouraged.

agreed..it's called double standard if he continues to have the cuffs in him and chars pressed that would make him a felon he shouldn't be teaching nothing

The part of this that really gets me is this guy makes a mockery of the system, wastes officials time and tax payer money and is only fined enough to do it again and again. He made the statement that he will be back again next year or words to that effect. He's a bunny hugger from Dutchess county NY with a history of civil disobedience.

If i was the judge,i would have told him $1500.00 this time and 5k next,and it goes up 5k every time after.

[smoking gun]

I think he should be sent to jail for 6months in general population
