Frs. "Game l.aw,U

The first game law for the psoteo ton of wild animals and birds was enacted in 106S hy William the Con. aueror. This decree of the Norman king was called a forest law. but it's principal purpose was the preserva. tion of game. Forfeiture of property was made a penalty for killing or dis abling any kind of wild beast, while the slayer of stag, buck or boar, If convicted, had his eyes put out. These laws, of course, applied only to the masses, since the royalty and no. sility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased, in fact. the princt pal purpose of the pioneer game law was to provide sport for the few. The first parliamentary game law in Eng. land was passed in 1496. Game laws In America have become increasingly strict of late years, but they were adopted too late to save many species, notably the buffalo. from almost com. Dlete extinction
