HEAD

    Sec. 127. Hunting and fishing; rules and regulations; punishment

STATUTE

      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
    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. The
    Secretary of the Interior shall make and publish such 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, mineral deposits other than those legally located
    prior to August 21, 1916, 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 other 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, mineral deposits other than those legally located prior to
    August 21, 1916, 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 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, mineral deposits other than
    those legally located prior to August 21, 1916, natural
    curiosities, or other matter or thing growing or being thereon or
    situate 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.
