Abstract
If wfld animals have to be captured, should it be by modem methods with drugs or are the old methods of chasing and catching satisfactory? The authors of this paper, one from the Veterinary Investigation Centre, the other of the Game Division in Mwanza, Tanzania, describe the results of capturing game by chasing and assess the results. They found it harmless for some, disastrous for others. As so many animals are being captured today for zoos, which increase in number yearly, research stations and private parks, the FPS regards this paper as of the first importance. It is published under the joint auspices of the FPS and UFAW (Universities Federation for Animal Welfare) who generously made a grant for its publication.
