Page 7, News, Tuesday, May 19, 1992 MNK and Crime Stoppers working together to try and fight poaching by Darren MacDonald The News Crime Stoppers has decided to expand it scope of opera- tions and offer rewards for information it receives on wildlife violations. The new program is run in conjunction with the Ministry of Natural Resources. "We're mostly targeting wildlife abuse, overfishing, hunting out of season, and overhunting," says Crime Stoppers coordinator Darryl Wilson. Wilson was in town last Tuesday for a meeting of the local Crime Stoppers Board, and to make a presentation about Crime Stoppers to the Aguasabon chamber of Com- merce. | The new program is called "Poaching is a Crime", and CIBC continued from page 2 or Ottawa or Toronto," he says. "They're being cen- tralized in Thunder Bay, so we're still right here in northwestern Ontario." "T'm waiting and hoping that things will work out," says Business Development Centre General Manager Mary Long. continued on page 8 Wilson says they're targeting bigger offenders. "We're not looking for the person that catches seven fish instead-of six," he says. "We're looking for the people that catch netloads and genuinely abuses the resource." The reward process is the same as it is for the regular program, and the same toll free number used to report criminal activities is also used for reporting wildlife violations. Instead of the police coming in to charge someone, howev- er, the MNR will lay the charges. Since the program sinctiid last November across north- western Ontario, Wilson says they have received seven tips. As a result, three people have been charged with offences, and two deer and one moose have been seized. When Crime Stoppers first started, Wilson says they took information only on major crimes, such as murder and rape. "But now we've expanded to include most types of offences," he says. The idea of starting a hotline to report wildlife offences orig- inated with the Ontario Federa- tion of Anglers and Hunters. However, because of the cost of setting up the toll-free line, and because Crime Stop- pers was willing to do it, the job fell to them, Wilson says.
