Protection of birds and beasts

The “Law on the Protection and Management of Birds and Animals and the Proper Hunting” (hereinafter referred to as the “Beast and Wildlife Protection and Management Law”) stipulates a system for wildlife protection business plans, wildlife sanctuaries, wildlife capture permits, hunting licenses, registrations, etc. In principle, wild birds and beasts cannot be caught. (Some are approved, such as licensed and hunting.)

About capture permission for the purpose of breeding love cancer about white-eye and white-eye, it became unacceptable from April 1, 2008.
This is based on the idea that wild birds and beasts should live as they are, and it will be treated the same in Kanagawa Prefecture, so please understand.

Wild animals are basically wild and do not lend to humans, but if you really want to help a sick or injured wild animal, at a zoo in Yokohama City, we accept sick or injured wildlife (injured and injured birds and beasts) for treatment and protection.
The animals are not captured or transported to zoos at city halls or zoos. Please contact the nearest zoo in the city by telephone in advance. As it is business that is made up of cooperation of citizen's all of you, thank you for your understanding.
In addition, crows, doves, and hakubushiin are large numbers and are birds and beasts that may damage citizens' lives, so it is difficult to accept them at the zoo. Because it is impossible to accept wild animals, and it is difficult to release them after recovery).
In addition, pet animals (ducks, rabbits, etc.) and alien animals (raccoons, squirrels, sea turtles, etc.) are not eligible.

※In recent years, taking into account the frequent occurrence of highly pathogenic avian influenza every year, as a response to highly pathogenic avian influenza epidemic, for the time being, be sure to accept birds (especially birds and water birds) for the time being. Please inform the zoo in advance, talk about the situation, and ask for instructions. As it is correspondence to protect birds in park, I would like understanding cooperation.
