  1. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2007 No. 1029 (W.96) ANIMALS, WALES ANIMAL WELFARE The Mutilations (Permitted Procedures) (Wales) Regulations 2007 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) It is an offence under section 5(1) and (2) of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (c.45) ("the Act") to do the following to animals protected by that Act: (a) carry out a prohibited procedure; (b) cause the carrying out of a prohibited procedure; or (c) in specified circumstances, permit another person to carry out a prohibited procedure . A prohibited procedure is one which involves interference with the sensitive tissues (e.g. skin) or bone structure of the animal, otherwise than for the purpose of its medical treatment (see section 5(3) of the Act). These Regulations specify the procedures to which the offences in section 5(1) and 5(2) do not apply. Depending upon the animals to which they are to be applied, such procedures may include those for the purposes of: (a) identification (such as ear tagging); (b) the control of reproduction (such as castration and vasectomy); and (c) other purposes (such as laparoscopy) (Schedule 1). CYNULLIAD CENEDLAETHOL CYMRU O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L 2007 Rhif 1029 (Cy.96) ANIFEILIAID, CYMRU LLES ANIFEILIAID Rheoliadau Anffurfio (Triniaethau a Ganiateir) (Cymru) 2007 NODYN ESBONIADOL (Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Rheoliadau) Yn ôl adrannau 5 (1) a (2) o Ddeddf Lles Anifeiliaid 2006 (p.45) ("y Ddeddf") tramgwydd yw gwneud y canlynol i anfeiliaid sy'n cael eu gwarchod o dan y Ddeddf honno: (a) rhoi triniaeth waharddedig; (b) peri rhoi triniaeth waharddedig; neu (c) o dan amgylchiadau penodedig, ganiatáu i berson arall roi triniaeth waharddedig. Ystyr "rhoi triniaeth waharddedig" yw gwneud rhywbeth sy'n cynnwys ymyrryd â meinweoedd sensitif (e.e. croen) neu strwythur esgyrn yr anifail heblaw at ei drin yn feddygol (gweler adran 5(3) o'r Ddeddf). Mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn pennu'r triniaethau nad ydynt yn dramgwyddau yn ôl adran 5(1) a 5(2). Gan ddibynnu ar yr anifeiliaid y mae'r triniaethau i'w rhoi iddynt, caiff y triniaethau hynny gynnwys triniaethau at: (a) adnabod yr anifeiliaid (fel tagiau clust); (b) rheoli atghenhedlu (fel ysbaddu, cyweirio neu dorri ar anifail, a fasdoriad (hynny yw, fasectomi)); ac (c) triniaethau at ddibenion eraill (fel laparosgopi) (Atodlen 1). 1 Am rai o'r triniaethau hyn, ac unwaith eto gan ddibynnu ar yr anifeiliaid y mae caniatâd i'w rhoi iddynt, mae Atodlenni 2 i 9 yn gosod cyfyngiadau ar roi'r driniaeth (fel pennu oedran y mae'n rhaid i'r anifail fod ynddo, neu bennu bod rhaid rhoi anesthetig). O ran triniaethau penodol y caniateir eu rhoi i foch, mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gweithredu paragraff 8 o Bennod I o'r Atodiad i Gyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 91/630/EEC sy'n gosod y safonau gofynnol ar gyfer gwarchod moch (OJ Rhif L340, 11.12.1991, t.33), fel y'i diwygiwyd gan Gyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 2001/88/EC, OJ Rhif L316, 1.12.2001, t.1), Cyfarwyddeb y Comisiwn 2001/93/EC (OJ Rhif L316, 1.12.2001, t.36) a Rheoliad y Cyngor (EC) Rhif 806/2003 (OJ Rhif L122, 16.5.2003, t.1). O ran tocio pig ieir dodwy, mae'r Rheoliadau hyn yn gweithredu paragraff 8 o'r Atodiad i Gyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 1999/74/EC sy'n gosod y safonau gofynnol ar gyfer gwarchod ieir dodwy (OJ Rhif L203, 3.8.1999, p.53, fel y'i diwygiwyd ddiwethaf gan Reoliad y Cyngor (EC) Rhif 806/2003 (OJ Rhif L122, 16.5.2003, t.1). Mae arfarniad rheoliadol wedi'i baratoi. Gellir cael copïau ohono oddi wrth Swyddfa'r Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol, Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru, Parc Cathays, Caerdydd CF10 3NQ. For certain of these procedures, and again depending upon the animals in respect of which they are permitted, Schedules 2 to 9 apply restrictions to the carrying out of the procedure (such as specifying a required age for the animal, or requiring the administration of an anaesthetic). In respect of certain procedures permitted to be applied to pigs, these Regulations implement paragraph 8 of Chapter I of the Annex to Council Directive 91/630/EEC laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs (OJ No. L340, 11.12.1991, p.33), as amended by Council Directive 2001/88/EC (OJ No. L316, 1.12.2001, p.1), Commission Directive 2001/93/EC (OJ No. L316, 1.12.2001, p.36) and Council Regulation (EC) No. 806/2003 (OJ No. L122, 16.5.2003, p.1). In respect of the beak trimming of laying hens, these Regulations implement paragraph 8 of the Annex to Council Directive 1999/74/EC laying down minimum standards for the protection of laying hens (OJ No. L203, 3.8.1999, p.53), as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No. 806/2003 (OJ No. L122, 16.5.2003, p.1).
