The chairman and chief executive of one of Seattle's largest software companies has been charged with leading a hunt to kill 32 bison on ranch land in Colorado.
Jeff Hawn, the 44-year-old chairman and chief executive of Attachmate, faces 34 counts of theft, criminal mischief and aggravated cruelty to animals, according to an arrest warrant published on The Denver Post's Web site.
The bison killings have attracted national media attention, partly because they raise issues related to grazing rights on ranch land.
It also has touched a nerve, given that Hawn, who lives in Austin, Texas, is a wealthy software executive who bought the Colorado ranch southwest of Denver in 1995.
