IMDB rating: 6.10 Plot: The blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior’s battle against the great and murderous troll, Grendel. Heads will roll. Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar, the much respected Lord of the Danes, Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding monster. The monster, Grendel, is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood - immense flesh and raging blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, has become increasingly troubled by the hero-myth rising up around his exploits. Beowulf’s willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll’s rampages than was first apparent. As a soldier, Beowulf is unaccustomed to hesitating. His relationship with the mesmerizing witch, Selma, creates deeper confusion. Swinging his sword at a great, stinking beast is no longer such a simple act. The story is set in barbarous Northern Europe where the reign of the many-gods is giving way to one - the southern invader, Christ. Beowulf is a man caught between sides in this great shift, his simple code transforming and falling apart before his eyes. Vengeance, loyalty and mercy powerfully entwine. A story of blood and beer and sweat, which strips away the mask of the hero-myth, leaving a raw and tangled tale. |

Lacey Act (18 U.S.C. 42; 16 U.S.C. 3371-3378).
This Act provides authority to the Secretary of the Interior to designate injurious wildlife and ensure the humane treatment of wildlife shipped to the United States. Further, it prohibits the importation, exportation, transportation, sale, or purchase of fish and wildlife taken or possessed in violation of State, Federal, Indian tribal, and foreign laws. The Amendments strengthen and improve the enforcement of Federal wildlife laws and improve Federal assistance to the States and foreign governments in the enforcement of their wildlife laws. Also, the act provides an important tool in the effort to gain control of smuggling and trade in illegally taken fish and wildlife.

Federal Laws
Federal Endangered Species Act (All links in this section exit WDNR)
The Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) protects all federally listed animals [PDF 215KB] from direct killing, taking, or other activities that may be detrimental to the species. Federally listed plants [PDF 115KB] have similar protection, but the direct killing or taking prohibitions are limited to federal lands. Federal Protection for plants also covers intentional taking on any lands if done in violation of state law or criminal trespass laws. Under the ESA, all federal agencies and cooperating states shall seek to conserve and recover federally listed species. Therefore the government may acquire land as necessary, develop protective regulations such as critical habitat designation, and cooperate with the states on inventory, conservation, and recovery efforts. In addition, no federal funds can be used on projects which would significantly damage the species. All federal agencies must consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) if any federal project could result in a direct or incidental take of any federally listed species. Any state projects that could affect a federally listed species and that are funded in whole or in part by federal funds also requires consultation with the USFWS prior to any project activity. In order to take, transport, possess, process or sell any federally listed species, you must first obtain an endangered species permit from the USFWS. Permits may be applied for by contacting:
Grendel was the ONLY one of his kind… therefore would be classified as an endangered species.
