Interior silent on high profile wildlife cases despite wins
The Interior Department issues press releases on poachers and cowards, yet remains mute when famous figures like George F. Gamble face conviction. Gamble, heir to Procter and Gamble, was fined 10500 dollars and banned from big game hunting for three years after transporting a bighorn head and trophy elk parts. The Sibley fine came in a civil case, and Interior did not publicize convictions for notable individuals. Our calls to Gamble and his attorney were not returned.
