(2) The right of hunting is the right of animals (§ 2) to breed, defend, fight, catch, shoot or otherwise kill, and to take it alive or dead, in whole or in part (for example, thrown antlers), and to collect feathered game eggs. It is inseparably linked to the ownership of the property, may only be carried out in accordance with the provisions of this law and the rules issued pursuant to it and cannot be established as a separate right in kind.

§ 2.

(2) The government regulation may extend the calculation of game (paragraph 1).

§ 3.

The nebulous grounds are: cemeteries, land built, courtyard, courtyard, yard, garden properly fenced, parks, squares, baits, marketplaces, railway, railway station, street, roads and roads inside built areas. Other land may be declared untenable for reasons of the Regional Security National Committee, for reasons of the Military Ministry of Agriculture in agreement with the Ministry of National Defence.

§ 4.

The right of hunting may be exercised in the chase of the social, combined hunting of the social (§ 7) or in the hunting of their own and in the fields, according to recognised hunting principles.

§ 5.

(1) Hunting land in the district of one municipality, where it does not belong to its own hunting or field, constitutes a social chase if it is continuous and has at least 150 hectares of hunting ground. The Ministry of Agriculture, Slovakia, responsible for agriculture and land reform, may, after hearing the United Union of Farmers and the Czechoslovak Hunting Unity (§ 61), set the smallest area of hunting for 400 ha.

(2) The associated hunting grounds of the same owner or of those co-owners of 200 ha or more, even if they are not within the perimeter of only one municipality, form their own hunting grounds. The hunting grounds of forest schools and research institutes for animal research may be recognised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Slovakia, responsible for agriculture and land reform, for their own hunting, even if they do not reach the prescribed lowest level, regardless of whether they are field or forest land.

(3) The areas are land intended for animal husbandry, permanently and perfectly fenced in such a way that the farmed fur animals cannot be freely removed from them, excluding special random cases. As regards the condition of permanent and perfect fencing, the district national committee, if the lack of fencing is replaced by another natural obstacle, may grant exemptions.

(4) The land is related if they can get one to the other without crossing a foreign land. The roads, roads, railways, natural and artificial watercourses and tanks or narrow land lanes on which the exercise of the right of hunting according to the principles of good hunting is not possible, without distinction to whom it belongs, if it is overloaded, do not break the link of the land if it is so consistent that it is not cut; in a longitudinal direction, do not establish a link between the parcels connected by them. In doubt, the District National Committee decides after hearing the United Union of Farmers and Czechoslovak Hunting Unity.

§ 6.

(1) Hunting land which, pursuant to Article 5, does not form or form part of a social or own hunting ground must be allocated essentially to social hunting, unless the principles of good hunting care require that such land be assigned to another.

(2) The allocation referred to in paragraph 1 shall be decided by the District National Committee, acting on a proposal from the owners, smugglers and smugglers concerned, or ex officio. Entitlement to be assigned shall be exercised 3 months before the end of the pacht period, should the land referred to in paragraph 1 be treated as another chase.

(3) The Regional National Committee shall take a written decision on the allocation referred to in the preceding paragraphs, which shall also determine the amount of the smolt fee according to the average of the next three approximately equally valuable hunts, unless the parties agree on the amount of the smolt fee.

(4) If the land referred to in paragraph 1 is assigned to a social chase, its owners shall become members of the relevant hunting community, thereby forfeiting the entitlement to the smoldering fee provided for in paragraph 3 and be entitled to become members of the hunting company (§ 21, paragraph 3), which is the smuggler of the hunting ground to which the land has been assigned, in proportion to the area of the associated land.

(5) If the land referred to in paragraph 1 is assigned to its own pursuit, its owners shall be entitled to join the permanent hunting guests of the owner of the chase, if they exercise the right of hunting for their own account, but in that case, as permanent hunting guests, they shall no longer be entitled to the dues referred to in paragraph 3, or members of the hunting company that has stashed the chase in proportion to the size of the associated land.

(6) The hunting grounds referred to in § 5 (2), second sentence, may be assigned to the hunting grounds to the extent required by the purpose of those hunting grounds. The Ministry of Agriculture, responsible for agriculture and land reform, will decide on the affiliation.

§ 7.

(1) The hunting grounds referred to in Paragraph 6 (1), which are in the district of different municipalities, may be merged into one separate collective hunting ground, provided that the majority of the owners of such land so propose and that this concentration is achieved by 150 hectares of continuous hunting ground. If a municipality is located in the districts of different regional national committees, the Land National Committee, responsible for agriculture and land reform in Slovakia, decides to merge. If the municipalities are located in different countries, the Ministry of Agriculture will decide.

(2) The regional national committee may merge the neighbouring social hunts of different municipalities into one combined social hunts, if proposed by the two affluent communities and is a merger in order to exercise the right of hunting better. Paragraphs 1, second and third sentences shall apply mutatis mutandis.

§ 8.

(1) Jerries (social, merged social or own) which are newly established under this law require approval by the District National Committee.

(2) Those who apply for the approval of a wannabe pursuant to paragraph 1 shall demonstrate the conditions laid down for a wannabe.

(3) In order to comply with the principles of proper hunting operation, both the emerging and the present hunts may be rounded up; the rounding is carried out and approved by the Regional National Committee on a proposal from the Parties.

(4) The rounding shall be carried out, where possible, by exchange of affluent land, where the boundaries of municipalities, counties and countries are not hindered.

(5) If there is no voluntary rounding, the district national committee shall decide on it on the proposal of the owner of the hunting party (or owner of the hunting party) after hearing the Single Union of Farmers and Czechoslovak Hunting Unity. The proposal shall be granted, in particular if it is for land going to a foreign chase or between foreign hunts, or if it is for the acquisition of an appropriate hunting limit. The application shall be lodged at least 3 months before the end of the period.

(6) If, by rounding the area of the chase below the prescribed area, the chase is maintained as a separate chase if the remaining area is at least four fifths of the area prescribed.

(7) Paragraph 6 (3) to (5) shall apply mutatis mutandis to rounding.

An appeal may be lodged with the Ministry of Agriculture before the decision not to approve the statutes within 15 days of the date of service of the decision. When smuggled in a social chase, the offer of local hunting society is taken into account. Hunting companies can only be members of hunting tickets, and most members of the company must be created by peasants, workers, farm and forest workers and members of other working classes of urban and rural population. The company must announce one of its members as a hunting operator to the district national committee, to which it must also report a change in the person of the hunting operator. A person who does not yet have a hunting ticket may become a member of hunting company, but is obliged to obtain a hunting ticket within 6 months of the date on which he became a member. If they do not, they lose membership. The number of members must be proportional to the size and quality of the chase and be decided by the Regional National Committee, in Slovakia responsible for agriculture and land reform, when approving the statutes.

For that regulation, the smuggler is not entitled to a discount or compensation.

(2) If the hunting operator does not comply with the regulation referred to in paragraph 1, the Regional National Committee, in Slovakia, may delegate to agriculture and land reforms, after having been authorised by the Regional National Committee, to carry out an ordered discharge or capture of game on its expense.
