Number: 1976-07
WHEREAS, some state wildlife agencies do not have jurisdiction over exotic big game mammals on shooting preserves; and
WHEREAS, such hunting has in some instances in the past held little resemblance to sport hunting, thereby subjecting the entire sport of hunting to ridicule and shame; and
WHEREAS, the general public expects state wildlife agencies to regulate all sport hunting;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the National Wildlife Federation, in annual meeting assembled March 19-21, 1976, in Louisville, Kentucky, that all state wildlife agencies which presently do not exercise control over exotic big game mammals on shooting preserves be urged to take immediate steps to place such hunting and all other forms of hunting under their jurisdiction, either by executive order or through appropriate authority.
