Abstract

Section 14 allows the Department of Environment Protection to issue hunting licences for the killing of wild animals that cause damages outside of the hunting season. New section 14A provides for authorization by the Directorate of Wildlife of killing of wildlife in "special circumstances", i.e. in the interest of public security or to avoid damage to persons or property. Section 34 concerns pursuit of animals on other hunting grounds, whereas section 35 deals with killing of animals by others than the holder of the right to hunt the animals concerned. Section 43 provides for the payment of fees into the Wildlife Fund. Remaining provisions also deal with moneys to be paid into the Fund and the training of dogs.
