That's what you get when the "elite" move in. They want to make the big bucks in the big cities, then move to the peaceful countryside and try to change it. Like the woman who built her big old house in Southbury and then sued to make her neighbors get rid of their animals.

Sounds like a rich, arrogant jerk moved into town and then expected all the old-timers to start doing things >his< way. As "president and CEO" of his company he was so used to getting his butt kissed that he thought all he had to do was throw his weight around and his new neighbors would fall into line and pucker up.

Too bad he didn't get a couple of years in the slam.

I'd give him 1 year in prison for each bison he killed.

He needs jail time too. He has no respect for the laws, hires thugs to do his dirty work. Affluence has gotten too many people off scot free.

Mr. Hawn certainly had better ways and time of dealing with this situation. I do not know anything about this man, nor do I want to. This is a clear case of flexing money and power. It's so sad and unfortunate that these beautiful animals were slaughtered at all. We are not living in the 1800's. But apparently, Mr. Hawn thought playing Cowboys and Indians was the way to go. I try not to make a habit of judging people I do not know. Mr. Hawn seems like a cold, mean, and unhappy man. Money cannot buy you happiness. He has proven that. If possible, I wish it could buy him a conscious and heart. I doubt you've learned anything from this Mr. Hawn. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." I believe that quote. Men like you always prove it true. Rose L
