S.L. 499.66 Art. 14Requirements for animals in service.

(1) The Director of Veterinary Services may, upon a report made to him by an authorised officer, require the operator or driver of an animal-drawn vehicle not to use for the drawing of any vehicle any animal that appears to be ill, overtired, undernourished, overloaded, injured, or lame or whose health or life, in the opinion of a veterinary surgeon, is in danger or which may constitute a hazard to other road users.

(2) In order for an animal whose use has been excluded in terms of sub-regulation (1) to be once again used for the drawing of any vehicle, such animal shall be re-examined and a new certificate issued for the animal by a veterinary surgeon, which certificate must be submitted to the Authority and to the Director of Veterinary Services. The licence holder shall be allowed to once again make use of such animal for the drawing of vehicles upon the presentation of the said certificate unless the Director of Veterinary Services requires another examination.
