Freshwater Fish and Wildlife

Chapter:

RULES RELATING TO FUR-BEARING ANIMALS AND POSSESSION OF HIDES

Overview

RULE:

68A-24.005

Transporting and Shipping Live Raccoons

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to allow landowners to deal with nuisance wildlife issues involving racoons. The effect of the proposed rule change will be to allow persons to transport nuisance raccoons for the purpose of euthanasia.

SUMMARY:

A proposed new Rule 68A-9.010, F.A.C., contains a provision to allow the transportation of nuisance wildlife, including raccoons, for the purpose of euthanasia; however, Rule 68A-24.005, F.A.C., currently prohibits the transportation of wild-trapped raccoons. The proposed rule would allow off-site transportation of live-trapped nuisance raccoons for the purpose of euthanasia.
