"When a state Wildlife inspector told Wilkins he would have to tag the pets and he refused, he wound up in court."
How do you think the State found out about the pets? "loose lips, sink ships."
Tell the State if you are prepared to fight the charges in a proper court of law.
We have enough Americans in my area who would arm themselves and repell the State and Fed Gov. from illegaly entering our private lands. Enough said.
I don't know how the state found out about his pets. And I'm sure every story will be different.
I do know that various law offices are holding evening seminars to train 'agents of this law' and they are receiving badges to enforce that are outside the juristiction of our state laws.
