GAME LAWS AND GAME SUPPLY 



middle section of the country be not permitted to 

 shoot geese and ducks during the passage, there will 

 be more at the summer or winter quarters of these 

 fowls where the rich and lordly sportsman goes, and 

 it would thereby make more game for him. The 

 foregoing assertion is made on the theory that the 

 discontinuance of spring shooting in this section

"The Canadian Government furnishes very little 

 and in some sections no protection of the wildfowl 

 bred and raised on its own ground; and is it the 

 duty of this Government to protect that which is 

 raised in another country? Shall our citizenship 

 of the middle section be deprived of that to which 

 they are as much entitled as the citizenship of any 

 section? And shall we be responsible for the care, 

 keeping and protection of the migratory birds for 

 the benefit of the Gulf sportsmen and the residents 

 of Canada?" 



Information is much more appreciated by most 

 folk who read than argument or assertion or harsh 

 criticism. It is usually the part of youth to be 

 caustic in comment on the opinions of others which 

 do not agree with our own. There is no wish herein 

 to be harsh, for no good comes of that sort of thing. 



At the same time there is no need to be otherwise
