A North Battleford pawn shop owner was fined $25,000 under The Wildlife Act in provincial court today.
Linda Bomak, owner of Linda's Pawn Used Furniture and Collectibles, was convicted of trafficking in wildlife, including bald eagle and golden eagle parts. The fines included a $1,200 donation to the Wild and Exotic Animal Medicine Society, a non-profit organization based at the Veterinary College at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. The society rehabilitates raptors and returns them to their natural habitat.
The conviction is the result of a year-long investigation by the Ministry of Environment. The illegal trafficking of eagle parts results in Saskatchewan's birds of prey being killed for their feathers and parts, which are then sold in Saskatchewan, Canada, and internationally.
"This case was successful in eliminating a major source of eagle parts in Saskatchewan," Ministry of Environment's Compliance and Field Services executive director Kevin Callele said. "Individuals and businesses involved with the trafficking of birds of prey create and sustain a demand for these species and perpetuate the unlawful killing, which has a negative effect on populations, both locally and provincially."
Anyone who is aware of or suspects wildlife, fisheries or environmental violations is encouraged to report them to the nearest Ministry of Environment office or to call the province's toll-free Turn in Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-667-7561. SaskTel cell phone subscribers can call #5555.
