Sec. 395c. Hunting and fishing; general rules and regulations;
protection of property; violation of statutes and rules;
penalties
All hunting or the killing, wounding, or capturing at any time of
any wild bird or animal, except dangerous animals when it is necessary
to prevent them from destroying human lives or inflicting personal
injury, is prohibited within the limits of said park; nor shall any fish
be taken out of the waters of the park in any other way than by hook and
line, and then only at such seasons and in such times and manner as may
be directed by the Secretary of the Interior. That the Secretary of the
Interior shall make and publish such general rules and regulations as he
may deem necessary and proper for the management and care of the park
and for the protection of the property therein, especially for the
preservation from injury or spoliation of all timber, natural
curiosities, or wonderful objects within said park, and for the
protection of the animals and birds in the park from capture or
destruction, and to prevent their being frightened or driven from the
park; and he shall make rules and regulations governing the taking of
fish from the streams or lakes in the park. Possession within said park
of the dead bodies, or any part thereof, of any wild bird or animal
shall be prima facie evidence that the person or persons having the same
are guilty of violating this Act. Any person or persons, or stage or
express company, or railway company, who knows or has reason to believe
that they were taken or killed contrary to the provisions of this Act
and who receives for transportation any of said animals, birds, or fish
so killed, caught, or taken, or who shall violate any of the provisions
of this Act or any rule or regulation that may be promulgated by the
Secretary of the Interior with reference to the management and care of
the park or for the protection of the property therein, for the
preservation from injury or spoliation of timber, natural curiosities,
or wonderful objects within said park, or for the protection of the
animals, birds, or fish in the park, or who shall within said park
willfully commit any damage, injury, or spoliation to or upon any
building, fence, hedge, gate, guidepost, tree, wood, underwood, timber,
garden, crops, vegetables, plants, land, springs, natural curiosities,
or other matter or thing growing or being thereon or situated therein,
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine
of not more than $500 or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both,
and be adjudged to pay all costs of the proceedings.
