A Michigan taxidermy company is to be sentenced in November, after pleading guilty to possessing dead animals on the endangered species list.
The Wildlife Gallery acknowledged that it failed to file documents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.
The Wildlife Gallery has Michigan locations in Blanchard, St. Louis, Indian River and Gladwin. Court records show it is expected to be placed on probation and will be ordered to pay a minimum of a $10,000 fine when sentenced Nov. 22 in Bay City.
Gallery president Bradley Eldred will not be prosecuted, if the company follows the sentence and remains out of trouble during probation period, according to the plea agreement.
