When animals need to be tied, the ropes, tethers or other means used shall be:

  1. (a)

    strong enough not to break during normal transport conditions;

  2. (b)

    such as to allow the animals, if necessary, to lie down and to eat and drink;

  3. (c)

    designed in such a way as to eliminate any danger of strangulation or injury, and so as to allow animals to be quickly released.
