GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

Animals

Animals are protected by the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance, which prohibits any cruelty or negligence to any animal that causes unnecessary suffering at any time. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) urges filmmakers to protect the mental and physical well-being of animals, to understand and bear in mind an animal's natural habits and environment when filming and to make every effort to provide the animals with a stress-free environment.
