wild Life Refugees.
We often speak of game refugees and
bird refugees. but why not consider them
as Wild l!fe refugees? When we mink OF
game refugees we are combining opposite
terms. Game Is something to be taken
and a refuge is a place for protection.
When we use tho term game II seems
to carry the idea that is reared here for
the purpose of shooting later. What we
need is a place where Wild life may be
observed Just as II Is. I question the wis
dom of going through refugees and shoot
ing the vermin Not at least until we
are sure of Jus; what we are doing.
