Brock Lesnar pleads guilty to hunting charges

Former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar found himself with an unwanted distraction last week when it was announced that he was facing charges in Alberta, Canada relating to a hunting trip he took in November 2010.

Today, a lawyer representing Lesnar, was able to put the case behind him with a guilty plea to one count of improper tagging of an animal.  Lesnar was fined $1,725 and given a six-month hunting suspension. Two other charges, spoiling of skin and edible flesh as well as possession of a controlled animal were dropped.

Lesnar  had the following to say about the case, "As far as I'm concerned, I didn't disobey the law. I guess in other people's judgment, they saw it differently. At the end of the day, if they saw fit that I did something wrong, I'm a grown-up and I'll take my fine and go on with my life." – for more see MMAFighting.com

    I don't understand those who consider hunting a "sport", but what I really hate is macho fat-head morons who dishonor and disrespect the animal.

    No need for a rifle. Brock can kill a full-grown moose with his bare hands.

    I certainly hope you're a vegan. I hunt and eat what I kill. lot more "respectful" than confining an animal to a 5'/5' holding pen, in absolutely disgusting conditions, for their entire miserable life leading up to slaughter. Talk about disrespect to life.



    If you're a vegan then I'll ignore what seems to be a completely hypocritical and ignorant statement.

    This news article was brought to you by 'The Gun Store'... Where you can shoot a real machine gun even if you don't understand what a magazine is.



    I'm totally with you, but to be honest, I'd rather see people understand how to use and respect the killing power of guns than just letting any dipshit fire a future murder weapon. I see commercials for that crap ALL THE TIME.

    whether you see it as a sport or not, you are trying to discredit hunting because you've never done it and don't understand it. shooting as good as Brock Lesnar takes years of practice, or less years, and lots of natural talent. And many animals are much more elusive and intelligent than people think. Anyone that eats meat, should not bitch about hunting. Usually the animal suffers way less than in a slaughter house. But whether you consider hunting a sport or not, it is definitely a fine tuned skill. Some people are amazing at tracking animals that another person can't find all winter long. I suppose competitive shooting is more sport like. But call it whatever you want. Man was born to hunt. Whether it's a rifle, shotgun, bow and arrow, or a bowie knife. I know guys that hunt wild boar with 2 dogs and a knife. That's a sport if there ever was one.

    I truly doubt Brock worried about this at all, I'm sure he paid the lawyer more than the fine is and just told him to make it go away, it's not like he was ever at risk of jail time or anything.

    I am a vegetarian and I agree. Hunting is okay IF YOU EAT WHAT YOU KILL. I also agree with the first poster, hunting for sport is disgusting.

    You guys are ridiculous. People consider it sport even when they are eating it too. And the percentage of hunters that don't eat their kill is very small. For the most part, the only animals that don't get eaten are the exotic safari hunts. Like tigers and elephants. Maybe the natives eat some of it. i have no idea. While those would be the most fun hunts, I guess I can admit I wouldn't feel so good about killing those animals.

    Wizdom. You're name is ridiculous. No wisdom at all. Of course you hunt for fun, as well as for food. But like Meridictum said, it's way more humane than the holocaust type life that your store bought meat comes from. Those animals never see one shred of happiness, and slaughter is way more painful than a shot to the lungs. People like you want to eat meat, but act all high and mighty cuz someone else does your dirty work for you. And people like you, would not last the first year if the world went to shit and you had to live off the land and your wits. Pretty pathetic how so many people wouldn't be able to just go out and hunt some food, and provide for their family, should the world ever go post apocalyptic.

    Was he doing that? A 50 cal could kill a prairie dog if it missed by a foot just by virtue of the shock wave. That isn't even a skill!

    There was a video a little while ago showing Brock going "I'm back!" from his 2nd complication with diverticulitis. He was in fact hip-firing a 50 cal. aiming at prairie dogs. Pretty f'in hilarious.

    that was absolutely hilarious when that prairie dog video came out. they are a huge pest so quit crying about it. I hunted doves in Argentina, and they wanted us to shoot the parakeets. Which looked more like mid size green parrots to me. But down there they called them parakeets, and they were a huge pest to the farming community. Nothing wrong with a little population control, and making it fun with a 50 cal. Just made them disentigrate and die more instantly. If there were big colonies of ants that were a problem. no one would bitch if they were hunted. People only act like babies for the animals they think are cute.

    Damn Choke, you sound like a woman, man up! I take my cleaning knife and field strip a deer right there on the ground in 20 minutes with no help.

    I'll take one down with either my Bear compound Bow or my .257 Roberts with a redfield scope easily at 250 yards, most cant hit crap at over 150 yrs. Yea, you sound like a woman.

    He definitely isn't hitting it with an arrow at 250 yards. He must mean the rifle. Arrows don't have near that range.

    Sorry lady. Thats hunting. Just because you dont hunt or aren't allowed firearms in your country doesnt make you smart. I have to admit to everyone who likes to call people rednecks, Ive known a few and they aren't pusssies like you.

    Hell yeah!! Skinning an elk or blasting some prairie dogs is waaaaay more fun than going "hunting" for tofu and brussell sprouts.



    There is nothing wrong or immoral about hunting if you make use of the animal. mmmm...mmmm....i could really go for an elk burger or moose liver right about now

    He was probably prepping for his fight with the hunting actually. Hunting wild horses to try to cut off his opponent's food supply.

    Just maybe some guys are hunters here and dont agree with you. By your reasoning, anyone who disagrees is a fool and moron. I think you need to reverse that theory and you'll be spot on.

    Also if you see weak clicks and make another post about the weak clicks, you might want to take a break.

    @Wisdom. It doesn't count as following you when we read every post on the way down. And along the way we decide everything you say is weak. Maybe you're just weak. Pretty clear who the loser is. And the moron. You can't say anything on this site without someone destroying your comment. and exposing how ignorant and not informed or intelligent the comment is.
