Legal considerations in the management of predation on livestock
2018 Book Chapter
Losses to livestock caused by predators affects both commercial farmers carrying large numbers of livestock as well as small-scale and subsistence livestock farmers on communal land and can pose a significant challenge to the economic survival of many new and emerging farmers or could ultimately result in fewer people choosing to farm with livestock (Grobler, 2016). This chapter outlines the rights of landowners to eliminate or control predators that cause damage to livestock on communal land or privately- owned land. The predators concerned could occur naturally on the land or they could have moved from neighbouring land that is either privately-owned land, communal land or state land and which may or may not be declared a protected area.
