Poacher Who Illegally Killed Hundreds of Deer Ordered to Repeatedly Watch Bambi

(SPRINGFIELD, Mo.) — A Missouri poacher has been ordered to repeatedly watch the movie “Bambi” as part of his sentence for illegally killing hundreds of deer.

The Springfield News-Leader reports that David Berry Jr. was ordered to watch the Disney classic at least once a month during his year-long jail sentence in what conservation agents are calling one of the largest deer poaching cases in state history.

Prosecutors say the deer were killed for their heads, with their bodies left to rot.

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.

Berry also was sentenced to 120 days in jail in nearby Barton County for a firearms probation violation.

I hope they make him stand on one leg the entire time he watches it......................

And make him watch it every day.

I hate our judges (broad brush - I know)

Does anyone really think that watching a Disney movie will help in this guy's rehabilitation or make it any more punitive?!?

The judge is just grabbing attention for him/herself.

P.S.  I've seen Bambi numerous times throughout my whole life, and never once did it make me want to stop deer hunting.  And this guy is a POACHER, not a hunter.

Ya you are right.  Actually watching Bambi may make him drool waiting to go shoot some more deer.  Could work in reverse.

At least he got a year in da slammer...    If he had been sentenced in Rochester they would have given him six weeks probation.
