If the falconer does not report an injury to unauthorized wildlife, what could happen?

When a falconer does not report an injury to unauthorized wildlife, they may face legal consequences. California falconry regulations are designed to ensure the safety and well-being of both birds of prey and the wildlife they interact with. Reporting injuries, especially to unauthorized wildlife, is crucial for wildlife management and conservation efforts. Failing to report such incidents could lead to penalties, including fines or restrictions on falconry activities. These legal consequences underscore the importance of adhering to regulations for the protection of ecosystem integrity and wildlife health. Hence, falconers must understand their responsibility in such situations to avoid these potential legal ramifications.
