Good. Asshole.

Was there a requirement for him to rehabilitate the land as well? If not the fine was probably less than the cost of offsetting the clearing.

Fines do nothing to wealthy people. Should be forced to relinquish their assets and property to the state to pay the fines .

Adult crime. Adult time. Oh wait...

Not high enough

That’s petty cash for the inappropriately named Mr Greentree. Did the court order the land be rehabilitated? Cropping that land has probably already paid for the fine

sophiamcgrane.bsky.social•153 days ago

good lord! is he really named Mr Greentree?
I missed that

Not enough. The article suggests recidivist conduct; if a person refuses to care for land appropriately, rights to use that land should be withdrawn. If you mistreat a dog, you can be prohibited from owning another. Why is land valued differently.

This is ecocide and should result in a jail sentence. $1M means nothing to a man like this - he’ll probably claim it as a tax write-off.

Good!

Good. What a low act.
