MAN AND THE WILD ANIMALS 



If every man devoted to his affairs, and to the affairs 

 of his city and state, the same measure of intelligence 

 and honest industry that every warm-blooded wild animal 

 devotes to its affairs, the people of this world would 

 abound in good health, prosperity, peace and happiness. 



To assume that every wild beast and bird is a sacred 

 creature, peacefully dwelling in an earthly paradise, is 

 a mistake. They have their wisdom and their folly, 

 their joys and their sorrows, their trials and tribulations. 



As the alleged lord of creation, it is man J s duty to 

 know the wild animals truly as they are, in order to 

 enjoy them to the utmost, to utilize them sensibly and 

 fairly, and to give them a square deal.
