Animal Policy
The Animal Policy is designed to inform the public about what they can expect from us in terms of our varied role in relation to animals.
Animals are intrinsically linked to human life, either as wildlife, pets, working animals, food and agriculture or business. They are a part of the fabric of our world and play a significant part in many people’s lives.
Through the development and adoption of this policy, we aim to achieve the following;
- Eliminate unnecessary suffering to animals
- Protect the public from dangerous animals
- Assist partners in effectively supervising the animal population
- Protect the public from health impacts and/or nuisances caused by animals
