             SUBCHAPTER XXII--LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK
 
Sec. 204c. Hunting and fishing; general rules and regulations; 
        protection of property; violation of statutes and rules; 
        penalties
        
    All hunting or the killing, wounding, or capturing at any time of 
any wild bird or animal, except dangerous animals, when it is necessary 
to prevent them from destroying human lives or inflicting personal 
injury, is prohibited within the limits of said park; nor shall any fish 
be taken out of any of the waters of the said park in any other way than 
by hook and line, and then only at such seasons and at such times and in 
such manner as may be directed by the Secretary of the Interior. The 
Secretary of the Interior shall make and publish such general rules and 
regulations as he may deem necessary and proper for the management and 
care of the park and for the protection of the property therein, 
especially for the preservation from injury or spoliation of all timber, 
mineral deposits other than those legally located prior to August 9, 
1916, natural curiosities, or wonderful objects within said park, and 
for the protection of the animals in the park from capture or 
destruction, and to prevent their being frightened or driven from the 
said park; and he shall make rules and regulations governing the taking 
of fish from the streams or lakes in the said park. Possession within 
said park of the dead bodies or any part thereof of any wild bird or 
animal shall be prima facie evidence that the person or persons having 
same are guilty of violating this Act. Any person or persons, or stage 
or express company, or railway company, who knows or has reason to 
believe that they were taken or killed contrary to the provisions of 
this Act, and who receives for transportation any of said animals, 
birds, or fish so killed, caught, or taken, or who shall violate any of 
the other provisions of this Act, or any rule or regulation that may be 
promulgated by the Secretary of the Interior, with reference to the 
management and care of the said park, or for the protection of the 
property therein for the preservation from injury or spoliation of 
timber, mineral deposits other than those legally located prior to 
August 9, 1916, natural curiosities, or wonderful objects within said 
park, or for the protection of the animals, birds, or fish in the said 
park, or who shall within said park commit any damage, injury, or 
spoliation to or upon any building, fence, hedge, gate, guide post, 
tree, wood, underwood, timber, garden, crops, vegetables, plants, land, 
springs, mineral deposits other than those legally located prior to 
August 9, 1916, natural curiosities, or other matter or thing growing or 
being thereon, or situated therein, shall be deemed guilty of a 
misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of not more than $500 or 
imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both, and be adjudged to pay 
all the costs of the proceedings.
