WILD LIFE CONTROL
QUESTION OF PROTECTION.
A very interesting comment on wild life control in New Zealand has come from Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the National Audobon Society of America, to Captain E. V. Sanderson, President of the Forest and Bird Protection Society. In acknowledging receipt of a copy of the Presidential address delivered by Mr G. Stokell, at a meeting of the Canterbury Branch of ‘the Royal Society of New Zealand, Mr Pearson remarks: —“I am much interested in Mr Stokell’s statement, which seems to indicate that the administration of wild life protective laws in New Zealand is carried on apparently by societies of hunters, called acclimatisation societies. I am familial’ with that term in connection with the big scientific society in France, but that organisation has nothing to do with enforcing bird and game laws, as you may be aware. You also, of course, may know that in the countries Where most attention is paid to wildlife preservation, game laws are enforced by a department of government created especially for that purpose.”
