  respect

   aims

  the 
  regulation 
  applied

   hunting, 
  with 
  a 
  view 
  to 
  preventing 
  the

  of 
  these 
  animals 
  ; 
  

   the 
  recognition 
  of 
  the 
  principle 
  in 
  virtue 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  carcases 
  of 
  

   savage 
  animals 
  are 
  considered 
  as 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  proprietor 
  of 
  the 
  

   grounds, 
  and 
  become 
  part 
  of 
  his 
  capital 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  free 
  rights 
  granted 
  

   by 
  the 
  State 
  to 
  individuals 
  for 
  collecting 
  ivory
