Slaughter Anglers ofheials.
State officials here are wrathy over
the reckless slaughter Of game that has
been going on in Ohio since the new
game season opened. They hold that
the wholesale killing, particularly OF
rabbits, not only has had the effect OF
injuring rabbit hunting for some sea-
sons to come, but also has turned
public sentiment against hunting as a
so-called sport. They declare that the
immediate result of the slaughter
probably will be the enactment of Leg
islation that will on some way offer
protection to the denizens Of the Ohio
woods and fields from virtual extermi-
nation. Laws are being suggested for
enactment that would limit the rabbit
kill to a certain number per day for
each hunter.
