about 25 minute jack miner recently went up to hud son bay territory on fishing trip and was gone between three and four weeks on his return home he found that several of his mourning doves nests tiad been robbed of their young after two days of investigation he found pah of monkeyfaced owls hi his tame tumbler pigeon house the owls had taken possession and in their nest were two young owls nearly full grown as well as two freshly laid eggs these socalled mouseeatens had not only cleared tho pigeon hou of all the young pigeons but where they had been feeding emnants were f3und of between fifty and one hundred young and fullgrown mourning doves these had been killed by the parent owls to feed themselvca and their young tile wings and legs of the little doves were lefb several of the latter bore tags that jack miner had put on them had these doves been allowed to live they would have consumed millions of weed cetsd becatfia of number of doves crojis and stomaclis that have been analyzed some have contained oyer ten thousand weed seeds jack miner wiu heard to nay as lie looked ut tlic remains of ids slaughtered mourning doves am certainly not in favor of laws protecting liawk or owl that commits an act like this and preys on valuable bird life while at tho same time wo have other laws that prosecute and lmprkion humanity for its crimes in other words said mr miner am not in fvor of imprisoning humanity for stealing chickens or shooting soivi and insectivorous birds or sporuimcn fot shooting game birds out of season and protecting liawk owls and vermin uutt do the same act 3c5 dtiyu in the year furthermore said jack miner the lutblts of hawks and owt and vermin are no different outside of bird sanctuary ionrivc aiikad believe with all your heart that you will do what you
