CONTRADICTORY LAW 



MIGRATORY BIRD LAW 



Section 12. Nothing in this act shall be construed to pre- 

 vent the breeding* of Migratory Game Birds on Farms and 

 Preserves and the sale of birds so bred under proper regu- 

 lations for the purpose of increasing the food supply. 



PRESERVE 



The word Preserve is defined as, " A place in which game 

 is protected for the purposes of sport." 



Funk and Wagnals Standard Dictionary. 



REGULATION OF U. S. BIOLOGICAL SURVEY 

 MADE UNDER THE MIGRATORY BIRD LAW 



Regulation 8. Sec. 2. "Migratory waterfowl, except the 

 birds taken under paragraph 1 of this Regulation (the birds 

 trapped for breeding stock), so possessed may by killed by 

 him (the person having a permit) in any manner EXCEPT 

 BY SHOOTING . . . and the birds so killed may be sold 

 and transported." 



If it is true that a Preserve is a place where game is properly looked after for purposes of 

 sport, and if it is true that the farmers and sportsmen who conduct such places keep the game 

 in the markets for the people to eat at prices cheaper than poultry, as Mr. Burnham said 

 they do, it would seem that the Survey should not be permitted to make a regulation (having 

 the effect of a criminal law) intended to prevent the breeding, sale and shooting of game.
