SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri poacher has been ordered to repeatedly watch the movie "Bambi" as part of his sentence for illegally killing hundreds of deer.[COLOR=#444444]
The Springfield News-Leader reports that David Berry Jr. was ordered to watch the Walt Disney movie at least once each month during his year-long jail sentence in what conservation agents are calling one of the largest deer poaching cases in state history.[COLOR=#333333]

Prosecutors say the deer were killed for their heads, with their bodies left to rot.[COLOR=#444444]
Berry was convicted in southwest Missouri's Lawrence County of illegally taking wildlife. Three relatives and another man also were caught in connection to the poaching case. They've paid $51,000 in fines and court costs.[COLOR=#333333]

This a joke? What kind of sad excuse of a judge would think this is any sort of punishment.
It's not even remotely funny either, kinda pisses me off more than anything

The fines however were substantial "They've paid $51,000 in fines and court costs."
That amount is not anything to laugh at.

Once a month? That has got to be a joke. How about 24/7 for the full time of his sentence. Just hearing the words dear,deer, Bambi, thumper should turn him in to a babbling idiot drooling on himself.
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

Plus he lost hunting, fishing and trapping privileges for 18 years, and other members of family lost same privileges for various periods of time down to 5 years, should notice increase in decent bucks in that area in the next few years.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst!

Not necessarily. I hope they change but my gut tells me that the amount of deliberate poaching they did and the amount of meat they allowed to spoil tells me redemption may be very elusive for these people.
As for watching Bambi repeatedly, the poacher in Bambi (let's face it that was what the human was doing as Bambi was a small spotted fawn which tells me the hunting season would have been closed) isn't brought to justice or shows any contrition for his "evil" ways. So I have to ask what is the judge's point in making this person watch the movie so many times (the article says it is unclear)?
