Reading the story, it looks like they realized they misunderstood the law but didn't stop the issuance of the ticket in time. It's apparantly been dismissed (rightly so).

Anybody who owns an outdoor cat should be fined $500 out of principle.

I agree with the sentence. Although I do think the money should be payed to the cat. It was robbed of its lawful catch.

"Save kids"? From a bear cub? He'd be making more sense if he's shot his own kids to save the bear.

And frankly, I have little respect for laws that punish him any less than if he'd done that.

This statement would sound a bit less disgusting if it didn't come from a country where bear sightings are national news.
