Can falconers participate in trapping efforts without facing liability for a raptor's injuries?

Falconers are indeed responsible for the care of a raptor when they participate in trapping efforts. This means that if a raptor suffers injuries during the trapping process, the falconer holds liability for those injuries due to their involvement in the capture. Falconry is not just about the act of trapping but also encompasses the welfare and management of the birds.

If the falconer fails to provide adequate care or causes harm to the raptor, they could be held accountable, which emphasizes the importance of understanding and adhering to proper trapping techniques and animal care regulations. Understanding this responsibility reinforces the need for falconers to be well-versed in wildlife management and to act in the best interest of the raptors throughout all processes involved in falconry.
