1 to 8 Million Tomans Fine for Illegal Hunting: A Punishment or a Joke?/ "The Government is in charge of the environment, not its owner"
The punishment prescribed by the constitution for illegal fishing and hunting is more like a joke than a punishment
Shahram Mohajer, a lawyer at the Supreme Court:
The punishment prescribed in the constitution for illegal fishing and hunting is more like a joke than a punishment; instead of preventing the commission of a crime, it encourages the commission of the crime. That is, we have a fine of 300,000 tomans, 1 million tomans, and finally 8 million tomans. Prison sentence in these years according to the perspective of imprisonment
The government does not own the natural resources and environment of the country, it is merely in charge of them and is responsible for caring, managing and repelling the danger. Therefore, he should not feel owned and think that he can rent the environment for different purposes and make money from it.
