“DON’T GIVE US AWAY.”
Plea of Rare Birds.
If one happens to see a rare native bird, it is most unwise to report the locality, except to the Forest and Bird Protection Society, which can be trusted to keep the secret. A certain type of collector will be only too eager to take advantage of any information which will enable him to commit a crime—the killing and skinning of a very valuable specimen. The same remark applies to an animal such as the fur-seal. Newspapers are being requested to refrain from publishing reports which would help poachers (including collectors), to take the lives of creatures which have protection in law —but, alas, not always in fact.
