An Arizona State Grand Jury has returned a 30-count Indictment against fourteen individuals involved in poaching wildlife throughout Arizona.
Those indicted include: Bu Reh, Joseph Htee, Neh Reh, Nga Reh, Pray Reh, Ree Reh, Sumon C. Zam, Tee Reh, Ti Reh and Yung Bal Cangmah. Four of the suspects’ names were redacted in the official indictment.
The government alleges that the wildlife poachers committed conspiracy, illegally conducting an enterprise, theft, and animal cruelty when they poached numerous animals regulated by Arizona Law including bighorn sheep, elk, pronghorn antelope, deer, javelina, and turkey from 2018 to 2021. The alleged actions of this group resulted in the loss of more than $200,000 worth of wildlife to the State of Arizona.
Hmmm…sounds like southeast Asian names. Even so if they’re legal citizens it’s a fed matter not state.
time to end ‘tribal’ authority and give it back to STATES
Those are not Native American names. You’re letting your ignorance show again.
At the risk of being called a liberal (I’m not) I’d like to hear their side of the story. Were they sustenance hunting, or hunting to feed other families, or something similar? Or was it a for profit endeavor?
Indeed. Not all violations of code are “crimes” and shouldn’t be treated the same. These aren’t the king’s deer, after all. Was this on tribal land? On private land? On State land? I’m not willing to cage and condemn a man willy-nilly over wildlife.
Almost certain they were selling animal parts for use in traditional asian medicine
At the risk of being called a racist, all these names appear to be Native American. If so and they poached on their respective Reservations, then the total loss to the State would be much higher than 200k. Anyone look at how much a Reservation big game tag costs these days?!!
If that were correct, they would be prosecuted by their tribe or the feds. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has jurisdiction on tribal lands, not the state.
These are Hmong names, not Native American
I knew if I read enough comments, I would likely find one that actually understood what they were talking about.
None of those names are American Indian. They are clearly Southeast Asian.
