Mike Watson: Proposed Protection
of Wild Mammals Bill-Proposal for a Bill to make it an offence to hunt
a wild mammal with a dog or to facilitate hunting in certain ways. The
Bill would provide exceptions for certain activities directed at pest control
and conservation of species, and would allow the Executive to license such
activities. It would also provide exceptions, in certain cases, for the
retrieval or rescue of animals. It would enable courts of summary jurisdiction
to disqualify, by order, persons convicted of an offence from keeping a
dog, and make breach of such an order an offence. (lodged 1 September 1999).
