Had these cowardly poachers been around in Dante's time, there definitely would have been a level in hell specifically for them
They were, and there were a variety of creative punishments for them, usually involving the removal of various body parts.
See, this was in Europe, where everybody's all civilized.
And lest you think Europeans give a crap about animal cruelty, sorry, the poaching laws were against taking game on the lord's land. It was a property issue.
Funny to hear a bunch of the White Right object to hunting. Of course, the White Right always did object to Induns hunting.
