Abstract
With a view to prevent water pollution and other environmental pollution and to ensure the early detection of diseases, this By-law prohibits to throw any dead animal or parts thereof into rivers, lakes, ponds or other surface waters. If the animal is a Government property or a registered breeding animal the DAHO/DVO shall make a necropsy in order to determine the causes of death. If the animal is a private property, the owner shall inform the DAHO/DVO if he suspects that the death was caused either by a notifiable disease or by a wilful action. Article 5 establishes penalties in case of violation.
