If an unauthorized animal is injured, what must the falconer do?

When an unauthorized animal is injured, the falconer is responsible for both removing the animal from the situation and reporting the incident. This requirement is rooted in wildlife protection laws and regulations that aim to ensure the safety and well-being of the injured animal, as well as to maintain proper oversight of wildlife interactions.

By removing the injured animal, the falconer allows for the possibility of rehabilitation or treatment, which is crucial for the animal’s recovery. Coupled with this action, reporting the incident is a legal obligation that informs wildlife authorities about the situation, enabling them to monitor and take appropriate actions regarding wildlife conservation and management.

This dual responsibility of removal and reporting underscores the ethical and legal frameworks that govern falconry practice, ensuring that falconers act in the best interest of wildlife welfare and comply with regulatory measures.
