Ohhh… OK, then.  A GAME PRESERVE.  Maintaining and preserving a stock of wild animals in order that they be hunted “legally.”  By a “chosen few?”  How elitist!  And such a long history:  in 1389 King Richard II passed a law bringing in the Qualification law, which only allows men who own more than a certain value of land to hunt game.

And how does one get to declare one’s own land as such?  Are there tax advantages?  Has the IRS looked into this?  Hmmm…  I wonder.  It’s all becoming clearer now.  This whole “Lost Forest” thing is nothing but a dodge to cheat our governmental taxing authorities out of their fair share!

In the second double panel (Bonus Fry?) we see two fine examples of the “kept class of animal” seemingly free to go about their rutting business without a care, not knowing that their racks are the object of desire for the landed class of men who prefer to spend their days “making calls and dressing for dinner…” What does that make you, then, Trail?  The freeloading son in law of the wizened gamekeeper?  The husband of the only-made-honest-recently gamekeeper’s daughter??
