Abstract

These Regulations amend the Animal Welfare (Slaughter, Killing, Euthanasia Etc.) (Prescribed Animals) Regulations, 2014 in Schedule 2 (animals prescribed as game animals) and repeal Schedule 3 of the Animal Welfare (Amendment) Regulations, 2017. Section 10(1) of the Animal Welfare (Guernsey) Ordinance, 2012 provides for exceptions to certain animal welfare offences in relation to the hunting, capture or killing of any animal prescribed as a game animal providing that the same are carried out in accordance with prescribed requirements as to the methods, techniques, equipment or devices etc. to be used. The Animal Welfare (Slaughter, Killing, Euthanasia Etc.) (Prescribed Animals) Regulations, 2014 prescribes those game animals. These Regulations amend the prescribed list of game animals to return the Eurasian Woodcock to the list of prescribed game animals, so that the exceptions from certain animal welfare offences apply to the hunting, capture or killing of that bird.
