Give Maximum Possible Sentence to Nine People Who Lured Bears with Donuts

During a months-long Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission investigation into the baiting, trapping and mauling of bears in various parts of the state, including the Ocala National Forest, several people were identified and are being charged with crimes.

Three of them, Dustin Reddish, 25; his wife Haley Reddish, 25; and William Tyler Wood, 29, all of Lake Butler in Union County, were booked Tuesday at the Marion County Jail on multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit racketeering, baiting animals, animal cruelty and taking a black bear.

If these people are convicted, they should receive the maximum sentence allowable by the law. What they did was cruel, vile and evil as well as criminal.
