Former village administrator Warcina (Pomeranian) Remigiusz C. was legally sentenced to a year and five months in prison for killing bison Pyrk. – There were no obstacles to legally become a hunter. He followed another path – the judge said about the accused.
The District Court in Słupsk sentenced Remigiusz C. to a year and five months in prison. Judge Jacek Żłocie thus maintained the judgment of the District Court in Lębork of January 23, 2023, from which the accused appealed.

Remigiusz C. is also to pay 6,000 PLN as part of the court costs of the trial that took place before the District Court. The District Court also charged him with costs in the amount of over PLN 300.
– The judgment of the District Court in Lębork is correct. The total penalty is within the lower limits of the statutory threat. Penalted measures and unit penalties have been established correctly – judge bile judgment justified orally.
He appealed because the verdict was issued by “Neosędzi”
In the Court's opinion, there was no absolute reasons for the appeal, i.e. the improper cast of the court, because the judgment was to issue the so -called Neosędzi, as the defender of the accused pointed out in the appeal.
Judge bile said that the court shares the position of the Courts of Appeal and the Supreme Court, indicating a faulty procedure for filling judges.
– At the same time, you need to differentiate those situations where the judge obtained nominations in the only way possible for him. In this case, by taking a judicial application, by passing the judicial exam, by taking an assessment (…) and then by obtaining the Nomination of the National Court Register and the President's signature. And how the judge examined this case, as she prepared the justification for the judgment, extremely detailed, extremely accurate and precise (…) shows that it was an independent, independent court and thus there was no violation and the creation of this absolute appeal – said the chairman of the adjudicating panel.
The court decided that there was no premise for the use of extraordinary alleviating the punishment, because the crime was not of an organized crime. The accused did not commit them in cooperation with several other people, or possibly one.
In addition, the accused confessed to some acts, poaching, two arms sales and to two illegal possession of weapons, and here his fault does not raise doubts of the Court.
However, in terms of killing a bison “it is difficult to find any soothing circumstances”. – The accused was never a hunter, he was a beaten, he was passionate about a weapon, he was passionate about hunting. He was not punished, he had good opinions, he acted socially, he acted at the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. I think there would be no obstacles to legally become a hunter. But he followed a different path – said Judge bile.
Cut off head and gunshot wounds
Żubr came in Pomerania in spring 2019. He was an attraction of Lębork forests. He wasn't afraid of people. He was trusting, he approached nearby houses. The inhabitants of local villages even gave him a name, called “Pyrek” on him, because the male liked potatoes.
Founding in the forest in the forest near Dąbrówno (Pomeranian Voivodeship, municipality of Potęgowo) Żubra with a cut off head and gunshot wounds notified the police on November 17, 2019. In the late afternoon, Remigiusz C. and Przemysław P., who were detained on February 1, 2020, and on February 3 they heard allegations of killing an animal remaining under species protection.
The verdict that was passed before the District Court in Słupsk is final.
