A dangerous species is a species that is not commonly domesticated in Barbados and that are likely, if not restrained, to cause severe damage. The civil liability shall lie with a keeper of the animal, i.e. the adult owner of the animal. The Act also defines civil liability of persons whose livestock trespasses a property in the ownership, possession or control of other persons and civil liability for dogs. The Act further, among other things, sets out exceptions to liability and provides for the detention and sale of trespassing livestock and for the payment of compensation.
