§ MR. R. M'KENNAI beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether, under the Rabies Orders now in force, any exemption from muzzling is allowed in the case of sporting dogs; and whether such exemption extends to sheep dogs?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTUREUnder the Muzzling Orders now in force sporting dogs are exempted from being muzzled while being used for sporting purposes, but there is no exemption in favour of sheep dogs, as such, nor would it be possible for such an exemption to be allowed consistently with the success of the operations which we have undertaken for the extirpation of rabies.
