Not sure what the law is these days but years ago it was illegal to give an animal away as a raffle prize.

Greg

Yes, I was of the opinion that that was the case too.

I have a vague recollection of a magazine offering a pet as a prize and that was very quickly and firmly jumped on.

I believed this as well?

Current Regs do not say animals are a prohibited prize. Prohibited prizes are:

• tobacco products in any form

• firearms or ammunition

• prohibited weapons

• the provision of cosmetic surgery or other similar procedure the main purpose of which is to improve personal appearance, and

• liquor prizes more than 20 litres

Money over stated limits dependent on promotion type.

Thanks for that Danois.

Hopefully they won't go ahead with it anyway now that it's gone from Facebook...
