Ordlyden er lest i regjeringens offentlige høringsutkast til forskriften, fordi NSWs lovgivningsside nektet automatisert tilgang; departementet bekrefter at forskriften trådte i kraft 2025-02-01 og omfatter dette inngrepet. Kontroller den vedtatte teksten. Unntatt fra dyremishandlingsbestemmelsene bare for fugler yngre enn 3 dager i navngitte ordener der eieren har tillatelse for utstilte dyr, av en veterinær eller etter råd fra en veterinær, eller fasaner inntil 24 timer gamle; aldri slik at begge vingene gjøres ubrukelige.
