Where are the names of the adults? There's a similar situation in the are I hunt, a group of poachers operating for decades. A few of land owners in the area are actually sympathetic toward the group. Stating "they aren't bad people blah blah" Those folks aren't aware of the cattle that have been slaughtered, the game animals and non game animals killed on private property at night, the critters shot in the road in the wee hours of the morning etc etc. It isn't inconceivable this group could be operating in other areas. The paterfamilias of the group has a last name most commonly associated with a mans first name.
Those who give up liberty for security deserve neither.

I think their "sickness" goes far deeper than killing animals, to kill like that is evil.

From the article: "They’re also being charged in the killings of six cows, five of which were shot and once of which was hacked to death with a machete, officials said."

The criminal aspects just may be the least of their worries. Civil restitution fees for wildlife in Texas are pretty expensive; and if the Feds get involved on the migratory birds the great-grandchildren will be paying off fees. Then any of the land/property owners can sue them for damages (you have any idea what a good head of beef is going for now a days). If the juveniles aren't related to the adults their families can be on the hook.
At least they won't have far to go for prison. Walker County, Huntsville, is right next door.

I hunt a place that is in northern Leon county. We've been having problems with poachers for a couple years. You could see their tracks on the caliche road where they would pull to the sides to spotlight in fields. Had a couple young bucks shot and left in field, one was shot in a horse pen and left less than 100 yrds from cabin. Hope it was these sorry turds.

Think I know these folks and they've been reported and caught before. One time i went over a friend of friends house and saw eight dead deer in the front yard. They only removed the back straps and let the rest of the deer just rot away. The hole family(20+ members) would do this all summer long because none of them worked. This was over 20 years ago when I when witnessed this act. At the time I was practicing taxidermy and they bring would over several different protected birds asking if I would give it a go. I never did, always said "hell no" but it never slowed them down from asking. Before you say oh come ain't no law going to give people like this a pass. Well you've never lived in a small town.

In case anyone was wondering what human trash looks like, please see the pics above. I hope time in the pen with hardened criminals, and those guys being their ladies, will fix what ails them mentally. But I doubt it.

Oh wow. I did NOT know there were places in the world where guys still sported mullets! Awesome!
Looks like there's a few layers of inbreeding going on there. I don't think they're gonna get as much time as y'all think. It's really a catch 22. I personally don't want to spend a lot of taxpayer dollars on their upkeep for a lotta years.
And if you take away all their stuff... well, let's just say I'm not thinking any of these knuckleheads have a lot of valuables...

Dunno, but the guy in the second pic looks like he might like wearing a rag mop wig and lip stick.

Social degenerates. They are young sociopaths. I see a contemptuous smugness in all three of them.
