THE SALE OF GAME 333 
only game that may be sold when lawfully killed. The sale 
of certain game, such as grouse and wild fowl, is prohibited 
in most of the provinces. In 1918 the sale of game was 
prohibited in New Brunswick, but we deeply regret that it 
was resumed after one season’s trial, owing to the natural 
opposition which was found to such a necessary measure. 
The act was repealed in spite of the fact that the sportsmen 
and guides of the province are strongly of the opinion that, 
in New Brunswick, the conservation of the game, and par- 
ticularly the moose, depends upon the prohibition of its 
sale. We would urge not only upon the Province of New 
- Brunswick, but also upon all other provinces that have not, 
as yet, adopted this essential measure, to amend their game 
laws in such a manner as to make it illegal to sell protected 
game of all kinds, except in those remote regions where the 
difficulty of obtaining other forms of meat may render nec- 
essary the sale of game, lawfully killed; in such cases ade- 
quate safeguards, such as the appointment of special hunt- 
ers to kill such game, and the submittal of sworn statements 
as to the amount killed and its disposal, should be adopted 
to prevent abuse of the privilege. Such prohibition will 
have to come sooner or later, and it is surely more desirable 
to put it into effect while the game is still fairly abundant 
than to wait until its rarity compels the adoption of this 
essential step in game and wild-life protection.
