Jeffrey Hawn, the founder and CEO of Seattle-based business-software company Attachmate, turned himself into authorities, charged with animal cruelty, theft and criminal mischief. Hawn and hired hands shot and killed 31 or 32 bison, the majestic symbol of Americana, which had wandered onto his property from a neighboring ranch in Park County, Colorado — including cows carrying calfs, and scattered across hundreds of acres, some owned not by Hawn but the Bureau of Land Management. What's really shocking, though?

He didn't even process the meat or hides, and killed purely for sport:

The arrest warrant said some of the bison were skinned while most of the rest were left to rot.

Apparently he brought others on to shoot the strays, which are allowed to wander under open-range laws, because he tired of doing it himself. Hawn is currently free on a paltry $15,000 bail. (Photo by Tambako The Jaguar)
