Audubon Head Pleas
For Birds Of Prey
DR. Pearson Urges Sportsmen and Farmers to Cease
Warfare on Certain Birds-Hawks Especially

Pearson, president of the National
Association of Audubon societies,
declares that campaigns of whole
sale destruction against this group
of birds, without intelligent dis
elimination between the species
which are useful and those which
are not. is crime against con-
servation."
1 While agreeing that ut is per-
fectly natural and altogether COM
ffiendable" that gamekeepers
should desire to protect their birds,
and farmers their poultry, DR.
Pearson believes the widespread
prejudice against hawks and owls
existing among the public In gem
eral Is responsible for unnecessary
destruction Of this class Of birds as
q whole, when only a few species
are Offenders. In this connection
DIR Pearson points out that re-
searches of the bureau of biological
survey and others have proved,
beyond any shadow of doubt, that
by far the greater number of our
hawks and owls are much more
beneficial than harmful, and play
O vastly important role In helping
to keep in check rodent pests
'.In view Of the proven value of
by far the greater number Of this
group of BIRDS" continues DR. Pear
sons, at Is q very short-sfghted and
mistaken policy. frequently in

sions and sportsmen's organiza-
lions, to start wholesale campaigns
of destruction against them.
