In respect of section 11(1) and (2), which involve having regard to the animal's nature, it is not possible to take all necessary steps to safeguard the health and welfare of the animal and to ensure it does not threaten the health and welfare of another animal without effectively locking it up. It relates to the nature of the beast. I reckon that one must either insert "reasonable" or "having regard to the animal's nature" to be absolutely clear.
