No…not video piracy, literally a video about poaching posted on YouTube.

According to Global TV and other sources three men have raised the ire of both Government authorities and animal rights groups for pulling over to the side of the road in some unknown area in Saskatchewan or Alberta and shooting at ducklings in a pond. They posted the video on YouTube and it is alleged to have had over 20,000 downloads.

According to the article the birds are said to be protected by the Migratory Birds Protection Act and therefore the offenders are wanted by both Provincial Authorities and Environment Canada. There is a reward offered for information that leads to the individual’s capture.
