Through Hugo Münsterberg, Theodore Roosevelt expresses his hearty sympathy for Alfred Walter Heymel’s position against the “wanton slaughter of wild creatures.” The loss of the United States’ native fauna has greatly impoverished the country. He condemns the brutal slaughter of mammals and birds, wherein they are killed for mere profit or pleasure, and no attempt is made to recover and use the animal.
