Lethal means of control may be used as already addressed by the official policy of Public Safety which states that a suspected rabid or dangerous animal will only be destroyed when it presents a clear and present danger to a member of the campus community. |
|
|
In all other cases Public Safety policy calls for the notification of either the SPCA, ADC, or a wildlife rehabilitator who may secure the animal through the use of a trap, snare, or tranquilizer. |
|
|
In all other circumstances, in the event that non-lethal methods of control have proved to be ineffective after sufficient attempts, the Senior Vice President will establish a committee to fully investigate other possible methods and relevant issues. |
|
|
Student organizations will be appropriately notified and invited to participate in the investigation of alternative solutions to campus wildlife problems. |
|
|
The Committee will issue a report to the Senior VP of their findings and recommendations. |
|
|
The Senior VP, after consultation, will decide upon a method of control to be used and will inform the University community. |
|
|
This policy is not meant to supersede any government public health measures. |
|
|
Rats and mice are specifically excluded from the provisions of this policy. |
