It is a widely understood concept that all wildlife is in the public trust, that you don’t own the wildlife even on your own land. The state owns all wildlife, they set limits on when and how much you can take. In British commonwealth counties like Canada they say all wildlife belongs to the Queen but in America, we say it’s owned by government.
It turns out that all human life also falls under the public trust doctrine. Human life belongs to the state, as only the state can own it and destroy it. Slavery is a right reserved to the government by the constitution. The government has the sole power to judge what chemicals you can ingest, whether or not to end your life or that of others, what kind of sexual acts and even abortions are lawful in the privacy of your own home or doctors office.
