$3,500 Fine For Illegal Deer Hunting
A Toronto man has been fined $3,500 for charges related to illegal deer hunting.
Curzio Fabrizi was convicted under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of two counts of unlawfully hunting deer and two counts of abandoning flesh suitable for human consumption.
He was fined $2,000 and $1,500 respectively and is prohibited from hunting in Ontario for one year.
Court heard that on October 10, 2009, while moose hunting with a party, Fabrizi shot two deer near Fensom Lake Road, north of Thunder Bay. He did not have a deer hunting licence. Fabrizi took the animals to an area several kilometres away and left them to spoil.
