I move amendment No. 15:

In page 15, subsection (1), lines 22 to 25, to delete paragraph (c).

The amendment proposes the deletion of section 13(1)(c). I accept I may be wrong but my rationale for this is that the paragraph appears to be extremely vague. It refers to "such other nourishment having regard to its nature, type, species, breed, development, adaptation, domestication and state of health and to the animal's physiological or behavioural needs". Is there any way whereby the position in this regard might be better defined?
