Ill
RIDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT, 1964
Fourteen applications were received for the grant of licences
to keep Riding Establishments. The premises were inspected and
were referred to, and reported upon, by a Veterinary Surgeon
and a Fire Prevention Officer. All animals available to be hired
from the premises were also examined by Veterinary Surgeons.
Conditions were satisfactory and the licences were issued. During
the year eighty seven routine inspections were made and on
twenty three occasions minor infringements were found and were
remedied by informal action.
PET ANIMALS ACT 1951
Licences to deal in "Pet Animals" as defined by the Act
were issued to twenty eight applicants. The majority of the
businesses were on a small scale, selling fish, tortoises, birds and
small animals. A total of fifty five visits were made to the
premises, nineteen contraventions of the terms of the licences
being found and remedied.
ANIMAL BOARDING ESTABLISHMENTS
Fifteen licences were granted to persons to keep Boarding
Establishments for Animals. Provision is made at these premises
for boarding 379 dogs and 281 cats.
Seventy-seven visits were made to these premises during the
year—seven contraventions of a minor nature being remedied by
informal action.
