News Release
MNR

A Vermilion Bay man received a hefty fine for illegally killing a wolf.
Trevor Robinson pleaded guilty and was fined $1,000 for hunting and killing a wolf without a licence.
The court heard that in the fall of 2011, Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers received information that Robinson had harvested a wolf without a licence. An investigation revealed that in November 2008, Robinson shot a wolf along Little Clay Road near Vermilion Bay. Robinson was not licensed to hunt wolves and had another person attach a seal to the wolf.
Justice of the Peace Robert McNally heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Kenora, on January 10, 2012.
