Olympia, Washington – A long-time poacher, who illegally killed wildlife for years, has been sentenced to prison. According to sources, 77-year-old Ronald Livermore was sentenced to 43.5 months in prison after pleading guilty to seven felony counts.
According to the Attorney General’s Office, Ronald Livermore pleaded guilty to four counts of unlawful possession of a firearm in the second degree; one count of unlawful hunting of big game in the first degree committed while armed with a firearm; one count of unlawful hunting of big game in the first degree; and one count of unlawful possession of a short-barreled rifle.
As reported by KOMO News, Livermore’s poaching incidents span decades. While one of his cases was pending, and he was released on home confinement, a paralyzed deer was discovered by wildlife officials near Livermore’s property. Officials also found multiple homemade firearms hidden in his home. The Attorney General’s Office found evidence showing that Livermore lured deer to his porch to shoot them.
Northwest Sportsman Magazine said Livermore’s criminal history spans two decades and includes him spending three years in an Oregon jail after pleading no contest in a 2016 case to aggravated abuse of an animal, felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a prohibited silencer. That case involved the sexual abuse of an animal, but the sexual abuse charges were dropped as part of a plea deal.
According to a press release from the Washington Attorney General’s Office, Livermore’s sentence was the “longest agreed recommendation for an illegal hunting sentencing in almost a decade.”

I hope he starts his future in hell, before his prison term ends. He should never leave prison alive.
The repeated actions of this man in MULTIPLE states is why EVERY state needs to implement an Animal Abuser Registry; similar to a sex offender registry; overseen by state police and linked nationally through the FBI. Creating such registries would prevent people convicted of crimes against animals from doing what this man did – moving to another jurisdiction and repeating their heinous actions.
He should have been treated like the animals he poached. Just gun the creep down. It’s what he deserves.
Executions are the only fix for the psychotic psychopath, obviously showing a pattern throughout his whole life to give him 43 months is ridiculous. He should be sentenced to the rest of his life or execution. We need to bring back the death penalty because that’s the only thing that may deter a few From abuse, neglect, torture, and death of people or animals. These judges have no backbone.
Orchiectomy
I would love to see some public executions of him and others like him. Other countries do it. The US is embarrassing, weak, mealy mouthed, and puts everyone at risk and wastes money, by not ending people who break the law and abuse the vulnerable.
Let our animal loving inmates take revenge on this POS!!! Go get ‘em guys!!!!!
well hell, he fukked a deer, maybe bambi is his cell mate…haha..
no early release for ” good behavior ” he had his chance for good behavior
Maybe he’s the animal that needs to be lured and hunted! Disgusting excuse for a human!
I agree, no mercy for aimal killers , they should all be eliminated.
Should have been 43.5 YEARS not months. Hope they put him in with a load of animal lovers. Prison justice!
He should have been sentenced to YEARS MNOT MONTHS. He’s obviously a psychopath and is a danger to people as well as animals.
MAY GOD’S JUSTICE PREVAIL HERE!!!
AND IT WILL!!
ABOUT TIME!
ROT IN HELL! GET THE MEANEST OF INMATES
TO SHOW HIM WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR,KILL,MURDER, ABUSE,
TORTURE AANY ANIMAL!
I agree with Thomas Tucker! These poor helpless animals need our help in eliminating these barbaric scums from our earth!
What a horrible despicable person! He deserves jail time… too bad to let it go so long a lot of animals animals suffered needlessly. Sexual abuse of an animal…really that’s beyond depravity!!
Hopefully in prison, the animals will get their real justice. May all the other cons show him what sex abuse is all about.
