I move amendment No. 8:

In page 13, subsection (1)(a), line 35, before "do," where it firstly occurs to insert "intentionally".

This is the prohibition on animal cruelty section. It states: "A person shall not - (a) do, or fail to do, anything or cause or permit anything to be done to an animal that causes injury (including disfigurement) or unnecessary suffering to, or endanger the health or welfare of, an animal". We seek to add the word "intentionally". If a farmer or pet owner does something intentionally, it is a crime.
