Zackery Brandon Barfield , 31 , of Panama City , Florida , used a 12 -gauge shotgun during fishing trips in 2022 and 2023 .

He fed poisoned bait to dozens more of the marine animals, using methomyl, a highly toxic pesticide.

Barfield 's sick spree began over frustration that dolphins were eating red snapper from his clients’ fishing lines.
