A RESOLUTION

  

1

Recognizing September 28, 2010, as "National Hunting and Fishing

2

Day" in Pennsylvania.

3

WHEREAS, Conserving this Commonwealth's natural and wildlife

4

resources is one of the most important responsibilities we owe

5

to future generations; and

6

WHEREAS, Hunters and anglers were among the first

7

conservationists to realize this responsibility when they saw

8

firsthand, more than 100 years ago, how expanding civilization

9

and unregulated exploitation of our natural resources and

10

wildlife caused disastrous declines in species populations in

11

this Commonwealth; and

1

WHEREAS, This Commonwealth's hunters and anglers took steps

2

to reverse this trend by supporting laws to stop unregulated

3

exploitation of wildlife and helping to establish game and fish

4

laws for wildlife protection and sound management practices; and

5

WHEREAS, Hunters and anglers also suggested and supported

6

laws to establish special hunting and fishing license fees and

7

taxes on equipment to pay for conservation and protection

8

programs; and

9

WHEREAS, The idea of devoting a special day to honor those

10

individuals who hunt and fish for their leading role in the

11

conservation of fish, wildlife and other natural resources

12

originated with a Pennsylvanian, Ira Joffe, of Upper Darby; and

13

WHEREAS, Sportsmen have worked the hardest and have paid the

14

most to protect and enhance the natural resources of this State,

15

giving freely of their time and dollars to enhance the riches of

16

this Commonwealth's outdoors; therefore be it

17

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives recognize

18

September 28, 2010, as "National Hunting and Fishing Day" in

19

Pennsylvania; and be it further

20

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives urge all

21

Pennsylvanians to participate in the activities associated with

22

"National Hunting and Fishing Day."
