Sec. 404c-3. Criminal offenses concerning hunting, fishing, and 
        property; prima facie evidence; rules and regulations
        
    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 the park, nor shall any fish 
be taken out of any of the waters of the park, except 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 the 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 park; and he shall make rules and 
regulations governing the taking of fish from the waters in the park. 
Possession within the 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 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 the park, or for the protection of the 
animals, birds, and fish in the park, or who shall within the 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.
