Paragraph 9

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The licence holder may apply a regulated procedure without the use of general or local anaesthesia only if the holder is satisfied that—

(a)

the procedure will not inflict serious injuries capable of causing severe pain; and

(b)

the use of general or local anaesthesia would be more traumatic to the animal than the procedure itself or would frustrate the purposes of the procedure.
