Meaning of "dangerous"
33 Meaning of "dangerous"
(1) For the purposes of this Act, a dog is
"dangerous" if it-- (a) has, without provocation, attacked or killed a person
or animal (other than vermin), or
(b) has, without provocation, repeatedly
threatened to attack or repeatedly chased a person or animal (other than
vermin), or
(d) is kept or used for the purposes of hunting.
(2) A dog is
not, for the purposes of subsection (1) (d), to be regarded as being kept or
used for the purposes of hunting if it is used only to locate, flush, point or
retrieve birds or vermin.
"Vermin" for the purposes of this subsection includes small pest animals only
(such as rodents).
Note--: If a hunting dog is declared to be a
dangerous dog, the declaration does not necessarily mean that the dog cannot
be used for the purposes of lawful hunting--see section 51 (3).
