Which of the following is an example listed under Protocol 105 Animal?

• A. Bear seen in a populated area
• B. Non-Dangerous animal posing a traffic hazard
• C. Theft of an animal
• D. Poaching

Answer: (A)

Protocol 105 Animal is about responding to wildlife incidents that involve people and public spaces, prioritizing public safety and coordination with wildlife management. A bear seen in a populated area fits this category because it involves large wildlife in close proximity to people, creating real risk and requiring containment, area control, and swift coordination with authorities to prevent harm. The other scenarios involve actions like theft or poaching, which are criminal acts addressed through different enforcement channels, or involve a non-dangerous animal causing a traffic hazard, which typically falls under routine animal-control procedures rather than the heightened wildlife-response protocol.
