Taxidermist Sues Over Illegal Search | Winnipeg News

A Manitoba taxidermist is suing the province and two wildlife officials after being ticketed and having his business searched — he claims it was retaliation for criticizing the government’s slow permit process. Reimer says officials deliberately blocked his export permit application, falsely accused him of illegal importation, and conducted a targeted search despite him holding a valid Nunavut permit. Though a judge later cleared him of charges, citing Charter violations, Reimer now seeks damages, accusing the officials of malicious prosecution and the province of enabling unlawful actions. The case underscores growing friction between industry and regulators, with the province yet to respond. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
