ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A judge in Alaska has ordered jail time for a man who skied with his son to a bear den, where they killed a mother bear and her two cubs, unaware that a research camera was recording them.
Andrew Renner was sentenced Tuesday to three months in jail while his 18-year-old son Owen Renner received 30 days of suspended time in connection with the April killings.
The Renners didn't know until later that the killings were caught on video by a motion-activated camera set up as part of a wildlife observation program.
Prosecutors say the men pleaded guilty to multiple counts, including illegal killing of the bears.

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - Two people found guilty for illegally killing a black bear mother and two newborn cubs have been sentenced, including both jail time and hefty fines.
The "poaching incident," Alaska State Troopers reported, dates back to April 14 , 2018. Then, Andrew Renner, 41, of Wasilla, and Owen Renner, 18, also of Wasilla, were hunting on Esther Island in Prince William Sound.

The sow was collared and a motion-activated camera was reportedly set up by researchers at the den. That camera was set to record audio and video and troopers said it captured the entire incident.
"The video shows A. Renner and O. Renner skiing up to the den and then O. Renner firing two shots at the denning sow. A. Renner then kills the shrieking newborn bear cubs and discards their bodies away from the den," AST wrote in its report.m

I've tried to find photos of these dregs but absolutely nothing appears. Nothing. More sub-human Wasilla dirtbags.

That's gonna hurt.
Won't bring mama and the cubs back, though. 
I feel sick. 
What was the purpose of this other than to kill for the sake of killing? Are they going to eat the bears? I support the movement to arm bears......
