Phil from Maine

Bangor Daily News,,, November 2, 2007 states that Maines chief warden resigns after being cited for illegal lobsters. The head of the Maine Warden Service abruptly resigns Thursday after a commercial fishing boat he owns and opperates apparently was caught with undersize lobsters on board.. A 20 year veteran of the warden service, submitted his letter of resignation Thursday after being cited for having 9 lobsters that were under the legal size limit during a routine boat inspection last week.He has been chief warden sence 2004..

This makes us wonder who is really protecting our wildlife? They know the laws and apparently figure it doesn't matter or that they can be above it? I am not sure why but it leaves alot of questions in this area...

Its pretty pathetic isnt it bro. Very very sad. Ticks me off more then anything.

Phil from Maine

Yes it is!! Makes you wonder who is doing what doesn't it...

StillHunter90

Sure does. I always knew that they looked at laws different for themselves but Im glad to see somepeople are still professional and busted him because it was wrong.

Phil from Maine

Yeah, I am glad someone nailed him as well.. how can they expect others to abide by the law if the chief doesn't have to....

Thats pathetic. I agree that it is good someone had the balls to bust him for it. I wonder how many illegal lobsters he took over the years?

Phil from Maine

You are right but, he was in charge of our wildlife so I can't help but wonder how many deer and moose went his way? or any other game? He has been stopped on lobsters so maybe that will stop perhaps any legal activity that may or may not have been going on..

Hopefully it scares the blankety blank out of any other "Law Enforcement" officers no matter what type they are. Im glad they are being shown they arent above the law.
