The Montana hunter who killed and skinned a husky — apparently thinking it was a wolf — is getting off easy after copping a plea.

Amber Rose Barnes just pled no contest to misdemeanor animal cruelty … and the judge gave her a 6-month deferred sentence, meaning the whole case will go away if she meets a few requirements.

Part of her checklist to get this wiped from her record — Barnes will have to take an online hunter safety class, and she’s not allowed to use her hunting rifles for half a year.

As it turns out, that’s not much of a punishment when you consider hunting season doesn’t come until the fall … so, it’s not like she’s missing out.

Remember, Barnes was hit with the animal cruelty charge back in October after the horrific September incident. At the time, she bragged on social media she’d taken down a wild wolf … but it was just a domesticated husky that was out in the woods.

Not only did she shoot and kill it, but Barnes also took the dog’s hide as a trophy … which she also posted on social media, drawing the ire of the public. Barnes insisted the animal was acting aggressively when she encountered it and claimed self-defense.
