National Farm Animal Care Council Code of Practice: industrijski kodeks, a ne zakon. NFACC navodi da zahtjevi Kodeksa u većini provincija nisu izričito obvezujući, ali mogu biti dokaz patnje. Spominje se u provincijskom pravu: usvojen u NL (NLR 36/12; NLR 35/12 s.15 čini praksu koju Kodeks zabranjuje zabranjenom praksom), propisan u SK (Reg 1 s.3-4), naveden kao obrana u NB (Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A) i BC (B.C. Reg. 34/2019, kao općeprihvaćena praksa), prihvaćen u NS (Act s.28(b)). Zarezivanje i blokiranje repa ne smiju se izvoditi.

National Farm Animal Care Council Code of Practice: an industry code, not a statute. NFACC says Code requirements are not explicitly binding in most provinces but can be evidence of distress. Referred to in provincial law: adopted in NL (NLR 36/12; NLR 35/12 s.15 makes a practice a code prohibits a prohibited one), prescribed in SK (Reg 1 s.3-4), named as a defence in NB (Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A) and BC (B.C. Reg. 34/2019, as generally accepted practice), accepted in NS (Act s.28(b)). Tail nicking and blocking must not be performed.
