An Ontario taxidermist has been fined $60,000 after officials say he violated federal wildlife law for unlawful polar bear exports.
In a news release issued Monday, Environment and Climate Change Canada said its team began an investigation in the summer of 2018 after discovering “inconsistent information” in the export permits used to export a polar bear mount and two hides from Ontario to China.
“The investigation revealed that was deceptive and planned extensively in intentionally providing false and misleading information to obtain the permit, contrary to section 11 of WAPPRIITA,” the news release read. The $60,000 fine he faces will be directed to the Government of Canada’s Environment Damages Fund, the release stated.
