His military status is barely one remove from that of the spy. The meat-shooters who harry the game and other wild life in order to use it as a staple food supply; the Italians, negroes and others who shoot song-birds as food; the plume-hunters and the hide-and-tusk hunters all over the world are the guerrillas of the Army of Destruction. Let us consider some of these grand divisions in detail.
Of all the meat-shooters, the market-gunners who prey on wild fowl and ground game birds for the big-city markets are the most deadly to wild life. Enough geese, ducks, brant, quail, ruffed grouse, prairie chickens, heath hens and wild pigeons have been butchered by gunners and netters for "the market" to have stocked the whole world. No section containing a good supply of game has escaped.
If they are persistent, no species on which they fix the Evil Eye escapes extermination at their hands. Does anyone question this statement? If so let him turn backward and look at the lists of dead and dying species. THE DIVISION OF MEAT-SHOOTERS contains all men who sordidly shoot for the frying-pan, to save bacon and beef at the expense of the public, or for the markets.
