Cap. 164 Art. 98Animals used by the Force.

(1) The Force may make use of animals in the performance of certain operations and in ceremonial functions.

(2) The Commissioner shall ensure that such animals are treated in the best way possible and compatibly with the nature of such animals, and that they are not subjected to any cruel treatment.

(3) Unless otherwise advised by a veterinary surgeon, an animal that is no longer of use to the Force, for any reason whatsoever, shall preferably be donated to any person or body that can continue to treat the animal well in its retirement. The Force shall not put down an animal merely because no suitable person has been immediately found to take care of that animal.
