does justice warrant the 



existence of game 



protection. 



Included in my title lies the foundation for all dis- 

 cussion for or against the protection of game. Game 

 in this case does not only imply that the life referred 

 to is legal game, but, indeed it included all forms of 

 life— for really is not game what all life is to man? 

 I am writing as a game protectionist. I am and al- 

 ways have believed in its justice — protection- — not im- 

 plying the favoring of absolute prohibition of killing. 



All arguments for protection readily fall into two 

 distinct and widely separated groups. Every argu- 

 ment for or against the cause must be included in one 

 or the other. They are both distinct and all-inclusive ; 

 that of cruelty or of economic results.
