    protected wildlife, Any article of any nature which is likely to
    cause injury to any protected or partially protected wildlife or
    any noxious substance for the purpose of killing and or injuring
    any protected or partially protected wildlife.

    The Department has made it clear that river poisoning is illegal
    and it can disrupt the natural proces of the rivers, streams and
    springs and may endanger the lives of the people in entire
    communities downstream as well as other persons who may eat
    the fishes.
    It warned that persons guilty of such an offence are liable to a
    fine of two thousand dollars and to imprisonment for six
