55.0.3. This division applies to any domestic animal and to any non-domestic insect used for commercial pollination purposes.

In addition, it applies to any other animal if the animal is kept in captivity and the animal or its products are intended for human consumption or if the animal is bred for its fur or for stocking. It also applies to any other animal kept in captivity for reproduction activities if the animals born from such activities, or their products, are intended for human consumption or if they are bred for their fur or for stocking.

Fish, amphibians, echinoderms, crustaceans or shellfish produced or raised in a fishing pond or aquaculture site referred to respectively in sections 1 and 5 of the Act respecting commercial aquaculture (chapter A-20.2) are deemed to be kept in captivity.

The animals referred to in the first and second paragraphs are, in this division, called “animal”. The term “animal” also designates, wherever the context permits, an animal’s fertilized eggs and ova as well as any part of an animal.
