The Highway Traffic Act, while regulating domestic animals being ridden or used in haulage on roads, has only one provision that can bear on wildlife. This provision requires that a "driver of a motor vehicle shall, when upon a highway and approaching an animal, take reasonable precaution to avoid frightening the animal" [HTA 139].
