Abstract
“With regard likewise to wild animals, all mankind had by the original grant of the Creator a right to pursue and take away any fowl or insect in the air, any fish or inhabitant of the waters, and any beast or reptile of the field: and this natural right still continues for every individual, except where it is restrained by the civil laws of the country. And when a man has once so seized them, they become, while living, his qualified property, or if dead, are absolutely his own”.
