1 month for illegal pesticide use and illegal killing of a marine species seems very light sentencing. In Canada if you "hunted" illegally you also lose your firearms, the boat you used, etc.

That'd be great, but here they intentionally seem to let the worst ones off lightly.

that is still one more month than cops that kill innocent civilians
