Man fined after 700 frozen and taxidermied animals found on Victorian property
A 74-year-old Victorian antiques store owner, Glenn Richard Rollo, has been fined $10,000 after pleading guilty to 13 charges. The charges include selling and possessing protected and threatened wildlife and failing to treat a sick animal. Officers searched his store and home last year and found more than 700 native animals, many frozen or taxidermied, across 14 freezers. The conservation regulator said he held no licence to obtain or possess them. A Victorian MP said the fine was barely a deterrent and called for wildlife laws to be modernised.
