(13) In addition, in order to prevent risks arising from wild animals, carcasses or parts of carcasses of such animals suspected of being infected with a transmissible disease should be subject to the rules laid down in this Regulation. This inclusion should not imply an obligation to collect and dispose of bodies of wild animals that have died or that are hunted in their natural habitat. If good hunting practicelaw requirements are observed, intestines and other body parts of wild game may be disposed of safely on site. Animal by- products from hunted game should only be subject to the provisions of this Regulation insofar as food hygiene legislation applies to the placing on the market of such game and involves operations carried out by game- handling establishments.
