                SUBCHAPTER LII--ISLE ROYALE NATIONAL PARK
 
Sec. 408k. Hunting and fishing; general rules and regulations; 
        protection of property; violation of statutes or 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, 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 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 
waters 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.
