What should a falconer avoid doing with quarry?

• A. Feeding the quarry daily
• B. Releasing it back the same day
• C. Handling it gently
• D. Stealing quarry repeatedly

Answer: (D)

Falconry ethics and wildlife law require handling quarry in a lawful, humane way. Stealing quarry repeatedly violates both the law and the sport’s integrity, harming game resources and risking criminal penalties and loss of license. It undermines trust with landowners and authorities and goes against the fair-chase spirit of falconry. The other described actions—handling quarry gently, releasing it when appropriate, and avoiding unnecessary harm—align with proper practice. So the behavior to avoid is stealing quarry repeatedly.
