A federal judge has sentenced a Massachusetts man to probation for running an illegal trapping operation that captured wild hares in Maine for the purpose of training dogs.

一名聯邦法官判處一名麻州男子緩刑，罪名是他在緬因州從事非法誘捕行動，捕捉野兔來訓練狗。

Jon Rioux, 36, of Attleboro, solicited Maine residents to trap snowshoe hares, court documents show. Undercover investigators offered to trap the hares for money, and Rioux obliged, despite the fact he did not have a license or permit that would have allowed him to possess or transport the animals, prosecutors said.

法庭文件顯示，36歲來自阿特爾伯勒的喬恩‧里奧，慫恿緬因州居民誘捕雪鞋兔。檢察官說，臥底調查人員提出用誘捕野兔來換錢，儘管里奧並沒有允許他擁有或運送這些動物的執照或許可證，但他還是答應了。

The judge in U.S. District Court in Portland sentenced Rioux to one year of probation and fined him $10000. He was also ordered to pay $1,843 in restitution to the state of Maine.

美國波特蘭地區法院的法官判處里奧緩刑1年，並罰款1萬美元，他還被勒令向緬因州支付1843美元的賠償金。

Snowshoe hares are cold-weather dwelling hares that have large back feet and change color from brown to white in the winter. Maine’s legal snowshoe hare hunting season runs from late September to early spring.

When his dog was born three decades ago in a tiny village in central Portugal, Leonel Costa was only eight years old. Little did he know that his beloved Bobi would one day be recorded as the world’s oldest dog.
