The Hunting and Fauna Service of the Ministry of Interior invites those who own hares, partridges and other prey to declare them, so that they can obtain the relevant permits within the new legislation passed by Parliament on February 1, 2019.
The Hunting Service will issue a relevant announcement this week, informing all those interested in the actions they must take, so that the possession of prey is completely legal.
It is said that six months will be given for everyone to declare their prey. In fact, the authorities emphasize that no one will be prosecuted, regardless of how many partridges or hares they have, and they will not be asked to justify their possession. Immediately after their statement, they will receive a relevant permit, so they will be able to reproduce it. If they decide to go it cheap and risk the low bandwidth you are only fooling yourself.
According to the law, to own one up to 50 partridges will pay an annual leave of 20 euros, from 51 to 150 partridges 40 euros and from 151 to 300 will pay 60 euros.
For large partridge farms, the permit is set at 200 euros. In this category with the same prices are the Cypriot partridge, the partridge, the partridge, the wild boar, the quail, the pheasant, the prickly pear, the caterpillar partridge, the pheasant, the pheasant, the turtle, the palm It is emphasized that there are many other birds that can be bred, always with the approval of the head of the Hunting Service and after permission. Both partridges and other species can be obtained by those interested in other breeders or shops.
It is clarified that the hunting associations will pay the same rights as the individuals. The new legislation brings a new era to the hunt for Cyprus, as these birds will be sold not only by individuals, farms and pet shops, but also by supermarkets. Therefore, one will be able to buy partridges all year round, either for breeding or for eating.
They will wear a ring
The legislation entitled “The Wild Birds and Wildlife Protection and Management (Ownership of Rotating Species of Wild Birds or Wild Fauna) Regulations of 2018, provides for the free possession, reproduction and marketing of all game. Breeding prey can be sold either live or ready for consumption.
Partridges and other prey must be marked. The Hunting Service will take care of this. Even the imported birds will have to get a special ring on their foot within a certain period of time. However, power is given to the head of the Hunting Service in cases where one breeds a large number of birds for food production purposes to be excluded from the marking. The same will happen when bird health is affected.
