For the protection of wildlife and people, Massachusetts law prohibits the capture and relocation of wildlife. Often people want to catch a problem animal and release it elsewhere. It is illegal to move any live wild animal from one area to another. This law has been in effect for many years, protecting both people and wildlife.
