Oh, I caught it. I don't believe written laws keep people from doing stupid or illegal things. It's the unwritten ethical code, and moral compass that everybody has inside that does.
This kid has been caught 3 times. Do you think he's only poached those 3 times?
Maybe he'll go to prison and have an awakening. But typically crappy people are crappy people. If you're willing to poach animals, I'm willing to bet that's not the only devious, or dishonest thing that this kid does.
