The Animal Production Act (the Act) and Animal Production Regulations, 2024 (the Regulations) falls under the authority of the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Government Relations provides some support to municipal officials concerning this legislation. There is a need to adequately deal with strays, provide for compensation for damage done by a stray and to recover the total cost of impounding and caring for a stray by municipalities.
It is the responsibility of all animal/livestock owners to ensure their animals are confined to their own property, and not running at large. Should an animal be running at large, it is subject to impoundment, and the sub sequential fees as per The Animal Production Act.
