PET ANIMALS ACT, 1951.
There are seven premises licensed under the Pet Animals Act,

birds and goldfish. Of the other five, one is a dealer in a few
tame mice, two deal in dogs and the other two in pigeons. In these
five cases, dealing is done on a very small scale only.
During the year 32 inspections were made of these premises, and
in no case were the conditions of the licence being contravened.
