 That's total *censored*.

 Unethical to say the least, PETA has been convicted of animal abuse crimes themselves for illegal euphanization, they are DEFINITELY not a viable candidate for a conservation fund.

I would direct my client to pay the $500 to RMEF or FNAWS and then ask the judge to consider the condition satisfied and nullifying the requirement that the payment goes only to PETA.  If he didn't agree, I would appeal.  There are rules on what they can require...at least in WA.

I don't the fees go to that Humane Society, it shouldn't even go to the State Human society it should go to what it was charged for, wildlife management.

Hey shawn...you got full access lexisnexis... I no longer have any.

Get me an address or even a name and a court house and Ill get the address. I can write a direct letter...

no worries for me. I got the JD but not a member of any bar...So I could hit him up. Just seems wrong and even worse...its a very very very bad legal precedent to set and let live!

Sorry man, i only got access to WA cases.  This appears to be a Colorado case.  If it was a Washington case I could give you everything on it including what the judge was thinking when he ordered it.  The judge is named in the article.  One could write him a letter I suppose...  This also could have been the prosecutor's idea and recommendation to the judge.  Even the defense attorney could have agreed to it as part of a plea I suppose.  If the parties agreed to this as part of the deal, it might not even be something the judge decided.  I'm just saying we would need to find out if the defendant agreed to these conditions or not.  If he did it's on him...

I realize I am very new to this list however I am not new to PETA and all the damage they do.  I cannot believe a judge ordered someone to pay restitution to an organization that is under federal scrutiny for
1) animal crimes ...unlawful euthanization and disposal that lead to a "littering" conviction and
2) they are affiliated with ALF and ELF two organizations considered domestic terrorists

I hate poachers and thieves of all sorts and I hate PETA......that judge should have had the fine paid to the state wildlife dept. 

of course The Vic case required him to pay anti's as well.........I am beginning to wonder about this country :dunno: :bash:
