Abstract

These Regulations implement provisions of the Performing Animals Protection Act, 1935 in respect of, among other things: form and requirement for an application for the granting of or renewal of a license under the Act; conditions subject to which a license is held; offences and penalties. The Regulations also require a licensee to take such steps as are necessary to ensure that dangerous animals cannot escape from control. No licensee shall train, exhibit or cause to be exhibited any animal which is suffering from any injury or disease, unless a veterinarian has certified that such animal is fit to be exhibited or trained, or that such dog is fit to be used for safeguarding.
