			 (e.g., import, sale, possession, transport), any person may either:
(a) Petition the commission to classify the

(b) Request the director to classify the
			 species as Noncontrolled, pursuant to OAR
			 635-056-0140.
(c) Any person petitioning or requesting
			 classification shall provide information illustrating that the requested action
			 will not harm, nor has the potential to harm, any native species or its
			 habitat. The information should be scientific in nature, in written form and

Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 57 - DEFINITION OF WILD BIRDS AND WILD MAMMALS › Section 635-057-0000 - Definition of "Wild Birds" and "Wild Mammals"

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
This rule governs all Commission Rules using the terms "wild
				birds" or "wild mammals," pursuant to SB 804, (Oregon Laws 2007). The purpose
				of this rule is to clarify the scope of the term "wildlife," which according to
				statute includes (among other things) "wild mammals" and "wild birds."
				"Wildlife" is the term used in many statutes describing the regulatory
				authority of the Fish and Wildlife Commission. The intent of this rule is to
				include as "wild mammals" and "wild birds" all species which, if viewed
				globally, typically exist in a wild state. Note that other statutes governing
				the authority of other agencies may use terms that (in some circumstances) may
				overlap with the Commission's authority over "wildlife." For example, the
				Department of Agriculture has the authority to regulate the private holding of
				"exotic" animals, some of which otherwise qualify as "wildlife" (and which the
				Commission otherwise is in charge of regulating). Therefore, the reader is
				cautioned to note distinctions in how Oregon law uses different terms regarding
				wild animals.
