[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2760938, member: 122991"] I did ask for opinions. And everyone has one. This goes beyond a simple mistake. Those guys knew what they were doing. We are responsible for our actions. Its about accountability. The bird they killed is the national symbol of this country. Not just a protected species. This is a hot topic for me because I spent my entire life in the service of this country. 21 years as the dependant of a career military officer and myself also as carreer military. I may be retired now, but with being prior career military, you are never "really" retired. Its ingrained in me. As such, I think it's a really bad deal when people hunt illegally, at game that is protected, with little to no respect for what they know little (or nothing) of. As foreigners, they should have known a few particulars about their "host" country. A few customs and courtesies, social norms, national issues, and the like. I certainly know that I never traveled anywhere in this world either in the military or as a civilian tourist without knowing a "little" about where I was or what was acceptable or not. I knew not doing so could "bring down my world". All this said, I believe with all my heart that it's a really bad deal when I have to stand by and learn about anyone that infringes on my national pride. I will not stand for it. Whatever the reason. What do you think would happen if an American did a similar thing in their country? Those guys should have known better. And now they may have to pay a price for that ignorance. At the core, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Enough said. Out. [/QUOTE]
