Jail, fines await those who keep wildlife without a permit, warns SWD director

KOTA KINABALU: The public has been reminded that it is a crime to rear or possess wildlife without a permit, and the Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) says it will not hesitate to prosecute offenders.

Newly-appointed SWD director Roland Oliver Niun said those who intend to keep such animals should obtain the necessary documents from the authorities.
