598 DAN BEARD'S ANIMAL BOOK 



13. The killing of an animal means the end of its 

 most interesting period. When the country is fine, pur- 

 suit is more interesting than possession. 



14. The killing of a female hoofed animal, save for 

 special preservation, is to be regarded as incompatible with 

 the highest sportsmanship; and it should everywhere be 

 prohibited by stringent laws. 



15. A particularly fine photograph of a large wild 

 animal in its haunts is entitled to more credit than the 

 dead trophy of a similar animal. An animal that has 

 been photographed never should be killed, unless pre- 

 viously wounded in the chase.
