Sec. 403h-3. Hunting, fishing, etc.; rules and regulations; 
        protection of property; penalties for violating laws and rules
        
    All hunting or the killing, wounding, or capturing at any time of

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, natural curiosities, or wonderful objects within said 
park, and for the protection of the animals and birds 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 the same are guilty of violating this Act. Any person or 
persons, stage or express company, railway or other transportation 
company, who knows or has reason to believe that such wild birds, fish, 
or animals were taken or killed contrary to the provisions of this Act 
or the rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the 
Interior, and who receives for transportation the dead bodies or any 
part thereof of the wild birds, fish, or animals so taken or killed, or 
who shall violate any of the other provisions of this Act, or the rules 
and regulations, 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, natural 
curiosities, or wonderful objects within said park, or for the 
protection of the animals, birds, and fish in said park, or who shall 
within said park commit any damage, injury, or spoliation to or upon any 
building, fence, sign hedge, gate, guidepost, tree, wood, underwood, 
timber, garden, crops, vegetables, plants, land, springs, mineral 
deposits, 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.
