A Sarnia man, caught selling wild turkey eggs online, has been fined $1,200.
Gregory Freer pleaded guilty to selling game wildlife without a licence in provincial offences court in Sarnia December 9.
The court heard that Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry conservation officers investigated a social media ad listing wild turkey eggs for sale.
On May 25, 2016, a conservation officer met with Freer, who sold the officer four wild turkey eggs that had been removed from the wild.
Justice of the Peace Marsha Miskokomon heard the case.
It is illegal to sell, offer, barter or trade fish and wildlife unless authorized to do so by licence or bylaw.
