in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Any guns, traps, or transportation used illegally to hunt or trap wildlife in the park get seized and forfeited to the United States. A conviction adds this forfeiture on top of other punishment, and the Secretary of the Interior handles disposing of the seized property.

If anyone uses guns, traps, teams, horses, or any other means of transportation inside the park to kill, trap, ensnare, or capture wild animals or birds, that property is forfeited to the United States. Park officers can seize it and hold it while prosecuting the person charged with breaking this Act's rules. If that person is then convicted, the forfeiture is added as an extra penalty on top of whatever other punishment applies. The Secretary of the Interior controls how forfeited property is disposed of and accounted for.
