 FISH AND GAME 
 PROTECTION CLUB OF LOWER CANADA. 
 
 ORIGIN OF THE CLUB. 
 
 Sev«ral gentlemen of Quebec taking a deep iat^rest in 
 the preservation of the fish and game of Lower Oanada. 
 whioh have been known for m|^y years to be rapidly 
 diminishing in numbers and quantity, assembled on the 
 19th January, 1858, for the purpose of devising means of 
 saving; from further destmotlon these valuable articles 
 of food, and of taking stepii towards restoring that abun- 
 dance which prevailed in former days. 
 
 At this meeting several appropriate resolutions were 
 passed, and a temporary committee appointed, to organise 
 the Society and frame a code of rules. 
 
 The- report of this committee which had bem draWk 
 with much care was submitted to a meeting convened fiw 
 the purpose of receiving it on the Srd March following, 
 highly approved of, and unanimously adopted, as well a« 
 a constitution whioh had been also prepared. The code of 
 rul«s framed, was ordered to remain over daring a fort- 
 night for the perusal of the members, and for the oonsi- 
 deration of the permanent committee then balloted for and 
 elected. The latter made their report at a subsequent 
 meeting, and the rules were unanimously ad(^ted m the 
 By-Laws of the Ohib.

 REPORT 
 
 of Uie Oontttiiiitee appointed at the Meeting on the 10th 
 January. 1866 ; T^at the Fish and Game of Lowdr Ca- 
 nada have within the last twenty yeari dimhished greatly 
 in nnmbem ; Blvers whioh were formerly resorted to by 
 Salmon when aboat to spawn are abandoned ; Lakes 
 which at one time, were celebrated for their Tront, now 
 yield but small return to the fis^ierman, and grounds 
 whioh a few years since swarmed with Gamete now 
 deserted. 
 
 Under these oiroamstances, it became the dut^of your 
 Gommittee to enquire into, the causes whioh have pro- 
 duced these results, and also if possible, to discover the 
 means by which the abundance of former days nug^t b* 
 restored. . » ^ ' 
 
 There can exist no doubt that the decrease in numbers 
 of the Salmon tribe is owing to the facts that on their 
 way to and from, and during their stay at the spawning 
 grounds, they are subject to unceasing persecution and 
 .destruction, they are netted and speared without mercy, 
 and but few of those that return to salt water, but4|l|»r 
 some marks of man's ingenuity. 
 
 The young fry also, though too small to be a source of ' 
 [Mfofit, still b their way down the rivers to the sea, are 
 netted and destroyed in great numbers. 
 ^ The Trout also are persecuted and destroyed in the 
 sameVay dpiring the spawning season. 
 
 Sprirlg shooting has largely contributed to the de- 
 crease of game in Lower Canada. In addition to the 
 fabt thaCa covey dr brood of young is destroyed by the 
 UUing of the parent bird, it must be borne in mind thatt 
 other birds are driven from their nests by fright and in 
 all probability lay no more eggs during the seasonA* 
 wounded birds also are unfitted for inoubation, and'ibua 
 ifhoie n^flka are' destroyed.

 Your Oommittee are of opinion Ihat tke readiest and 
 most effectual way of laying the aze to tbe root of tlMM 
 great and growing evils, would be to punish aeT«rely the 
 ' reoeiyers of game or fish killed out of seascm. Market 
 Hucksters are the chief parties who profit by the illegal 
 acts of the pot-hunter, and if it is impoFiible for the lat- 
 ter to obtain a market for his spoils, be will soon abandon 
 his unprofit|tble porsuits. ^ ' 
 
 Your Committee, therefore, would advise that imnedi- 
 ate app]ioati6n be made to the City Oouncil of Quebec, 
 praying them to pass a By-Law enacting that all fish and 
 game out of seasoii be decl«^red forfeited, and any Huck- 
 ster having such game or fish but of season in his posses- 
 sion, s^uld forfeit his licenserdn addition to the penalty 
 imposes by Statute,— and further that the Olerks of the 
 respective Markets be directed to see that the said By- 
 Law be fully carried out, and be ordered to give immedi- 
 ate information to the Secretary-Treasurer of .the OJub of 
 any offence ciuming under their oognizanoe under pain of 
 a penalty of cC for each act of neglect or omisdon. 
 
 Yoiir Committee would also advise that copies ^ the 
 By-Laws and of the present Jteport should be sen! the 
 different- Cities and Towns of the Province of ol^^.' 
 addressed to influential persons therein resident, who 
 have manifeisted interest ift the preservation of the game 
 and fish of the country,. and that a resolution be passed 
 by which invitations be extended to all other portions of 
 the province, to join in putting down the evils whioh have 
 given birth to this Club. 
 
 Your Committee would also draw the attention of tiie 
 Club to the wholesale slaughter of Moose and Deer of 
 all kinds committed by the Indians on the shores of the 
 River St. Lawrence. 
 
 The Acts of Parliament now in foroe <do not apply to 
 the aborigines of th» country, and your 'Committee would 
 
 "^ 
 

 ■:&. 
 
 -^ 
 
 b0 sorry to adyiie any intorferenoe with the Jast rights 
 of any body of individiials, but the oondnot and proceed' 
 ii^j^f the Indians are sad», that it is utterly impossible 
 for thi) Legislatare if it has any regard for their true in- 
 terestfi, to exempt thenl from the operation of the Acts 
 •pplytiBg to all others of .Her Majesty's subjects. 
 
 It is a well known fact thiat iramediatcdy after the ' 
 young Moose and Deer are brought forth, hundreds of the 
 parent animals are mercilessly slaughtered by the Indians, 
 idely for the sake of their skins. The carcases are left 
 to rot in the woods and en the borders of lakes. It never 
 was the intention of the Legislature to countenance such 
 proceedings, the exemption- iit favor of the savages was 
 to allow them to kill for )b6^, but when they thus abtise 
 one oi God's greatest gifts, and destroy Hfe, solely for the 
 purpose of procuring ateoholio liquor, leaving thousands 
 of pounds of meat to decay in the woods, we are^ opi- 
 nion that their privilciges, which now allow them a lati- 
 tude of which they have shewn themselves unwprthyi 
 should be abolished, and that they should be brought 
 down to the level of otheir dtizens. 
 
 In fact the tenderness Shewn, and the exclusive rights 
 granted,' aOt as incentives on the Indians, tp persist ill 
 their present idle, useless and uncivilized modes of life. 
 
 In conclusion, your committee would duly impress upon 
 yoiir consideration, that Lower Canada possesses in her 
 forests, livers and marshesrif due care is shewn for their 
 preservtition, inexhaustible souroes of profit and wealth, 
 but that if the present state of thugs is permitted to exist 
 any longer, the fish and game of the country will soon be 
 nnmbered amongst the things that were.
