Bird Poisoning Draws Sanctions for Ex-Candidate

POSTED: 4:51 am EST March 25, 2005

ROME -- Former congressional candidate Roger Kahn and his ranch manager have been sentenced to two months of home confinement and fined $15,000 each for poisoning more than 3,000 wild birds in northwest Georgia, authorities said Thursday.


U.S. District Judge Harold L. Murphy also ordered Kahn Cattle Company to pay $95,664 in restitution and fined it $170,000 for illegally disposing of hazardous waste.

Kahn, 59, and Glen M. Bramlett, 49, also were ordered to perform 160 hours of community service and serve a year of supervised release, U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said.

1. Gross. But hey! I thought cow farms were supposed to be good for
the environment. That's what the Cattlemen's Association says, right? They wouldn't lie.


"Cattle enrich our lives and our planet, cattle are mother natures recycling machine. Cows are environmental protection machines."

- National Cattlemen's Beef Association
