Probably First Game Law.

What is believed to be the first game law for the protection of birds is fQund in Deuteronomy 22:6—"1f a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones or eggs. and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam yvith the young, but thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee."
