Hi All, especially Randy and Lance,
I don't doubt that your comments are correct but it seems to me that=
=20
laws based on Boolean logic may do more harm than good in a world that=20
is many shades of grey.
When a bird, or other animal, dies it may be relevant to know why.=20
And the why can be established only if the body is recovered. And the=20
opportunity for recovery may be transient.
Consequently a regulation which say in effect that someone who=20
recovers a body is guilty until proven innocent is bad law and poor=20
wildlife management.
Surely such regulations need to be flexible and surely enforcement=20
is. Or is it ?
I don't know the final outcome but some decades ago an enterprising=20
Newfoundlander was earning pin money by making trinkets from Moose=20
antlers, which were otherwise destined for the landfill, and charged=20
with violating some sweeping regulation against sale of wildlife body=20
parts.
