CDFA Pest Prevention Plant Regulation Practice Exam

Which authority is used to reject a wild animal?

1. Section 671 of the Dept of Fish and Game Administrative Code

2. Section 6461 of the Ag Code

3. Section 6304 of the Ag Code

4. Section 2606.8 of the CA Administrative Code

The correct answer is: Section 671 of the Dept of Fish and Game Administrative Code

The authority that governs the rejection of a wild animal is indeed found in Section 671 of the Department of Fish and Game Administrative Code. This section provides the necessary legal framework and stipulations regarding wildlife management and the health risks associated with wild animals. It outlines the protocols for handling animals that may pose a threat to agriculture, public health, or safety, ensuring that proper procedures are followed when rejecting or controlling these animals. In contrast, the other sections mentioned—like those in the Agricultural Code—focus more on agricultural practices and regulations concerning domestic animals and pests rather than specifically addressing the rejection of wild animals. Therefore, the distinction is crucial: rejecting a wild animal falls under the jurisdiction of wildlife management regulations rather than agricultural law. This is why Section 671 is the correct reference when considering the authority relevant to this question.
