In this Act, “wild animal” means an animal other than one of a kind that is commonly domesticated in the British Islands.

For the purpose of subsection (1), an animal is of a kind that is domesticated if the behaviour, life cycle or physiology of animals of that kind has been altered as a result of the breeding or living conditions of multiple generations of animals of that kind being under human control.

In this section—

• “animal” has the same meaning as in Part 2 of the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006 (see section 16 of that Act),

• “British Islands” has the meaning given in schedule 1 of the Interpretation Act 1978.
