§ 2123 Undesirable Wild Animal Designation

This law says the department, together with the State Department of Food and Agriculture, must create easy‑to‑understand pictures and explanations about wild animals that are listed as harmful to the state's native wildlife or farms, so officers know why those animals are a problem.

Key Takeaways

  • •The department works with the State Department of Food and Agriculture.
  • •They must make clear pictures and easy explanations about listed wild animals.
  • •The material must say why those animals are bad for native wildlife or agriculture.
  • •The goal is to give officers the information they need to enforce the rules.

Example

A wildlife officer is trying to decide if a group of feral pigs should be removed from a farm area.

The department provides a brochure with photos of feral pigs and a simple write‑up that explains how they damage crops and hurt native animals, helping the officer understand why the pigs are considered undesirable and can be acted against.
