Game Farm Regulation (B.C. Reg. 5/2015).

The present Regulation is made under the Animal Health Act (AHA). “Game farming” is defined as a regulated activity under Part 2 of the afore-mentioned Act, as is fur farming and other types of activities. Under sections 14 and 15 of the Act, all regulated activities are subject to common administrative actions regarding issuing licences or registrations, as well as common procedures for those seeking to have an administrative action reconsidered. Section 3 establishes that the chief veterinarian issues registrations and licences, and takes administrative actions with regard to licences and registrations (e.g. suspension, cancellation). Inspectors may issue orders under the AHA requiring individuals to take certain measures to prevent the spread of disease or to bring an individual into compliance with the Act, regulations or the terms and conditions of the person’s licence. Those affected by an order may request that the order be reconsidered or reviewed. The text consists of 19 sections divided into 4 Parts as follows: Definitions (1); Licensing (2); Keeping game (3); Offences (4).
