DESTRUCTIVE IMPORTED ANIMALS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1933 - SECT 8

Power to extend provisions of Act to destructive non-indigenous animals other than musk rats.

8.(1) If at any time the Ministry of Agriculture is satisfied with respect to
animals of any non-indigenous mammalian species that by reason of their
destructive habits it is desirable to prohibit or control the importation or
keeping of them and to destroy any which may be at large, the said Ministry
may make with respect to animals of that species any such order as the said
Ministry is empowered by sub-section (1) of section one of this Act to make
with respect to musk rats, and thereupon all the provisions of this Act shall
apply in relation to animals of that species as they apply in relation to musk
rats, subject, however, to such exceptions and modifications, if any, as may
be specified in the order:

Provided that, notwithstanding anything in sub-section (2) of section one of
this Act, an order made under this section shall be of no effect until a
resolution approving it has been passed by each House of Parliament.

(2) In this section the expression "non-indigenous mammalian species" means a
mammalian species which at the date of the commencement of this Act was not
established in a wild state in Northern Ireland, or had only become so
established during the preceding fifty years:

Provided that nothing in this section shall apply to any species which was at
the said date commonly kept in Northern Ireland in a domesticated state.
