Resumen

The Act's purpose is to prohibit the keeping of animals solely or primarily for slaughter for the value of their fur or for breeding progeny for such slaughter. It provides for the making of a forfeiture order following a conviction so as to allow the forfeiture and destruction or other disposal of the animals. It enables persons authorized by the court to carry out a forfeiture order to enter any premises where such animals are being kept for the purpose of implementing the order. The Scottish Ministers may also authorize persons to enter and inspect premises where it is suspected that an offence under the Act has been or is being committed. It enables the Scottish Ministers to establish by order a scheme for paying compensation to persons who incur specified losses as a result of the prohibition of fur farming. Finally, it allows for disputes as regards a person's entitlement to such compensation or the amount thereof to be adjudicated by the Lands Tribunal for Scotland.
