本身不是法律；由各州决定。截至2026年4月：QLD、SA、TAS为强制性；NSW和ACT仅作为证据；NT未采纳；VIC和WA计划采纳。标准：不得早于24小时或超过12个月龄；6至12个月龄须止痛；须由熟练的操作者进行；不得对患病或虚弱的羊进行；仅限有羊毛的皮肤。2026年5月的一项NSW法案将要求止痛；我们未能确认其是否已通过。非手术方法不在此列。

Not law by itself; each state decides. As of April 2026: mandatory in QLD, SA, TAS; evidence only in NSW and ACT; not adopted in NT; VIC and WA plan to. Standards: not under 24 hours or over 12 months old; pain relief at 6 to 12 months; skilled operator; no sick or weak sheep; only wool-bearing skin.

National Farm Animal Care Council Code of Practice：行业守则，不是制定法。NFACC表示，守则的要求在大多数省份并无明文约束力，但可作为动物受困扰的证据。省级法律的援引情况：NL采纳该守则（NLR 36/12；NLR 35/12 s.15规定，守则所禁止的做法即为被禁止的做法），SK规定为适用守则（Reg 1 s.3-4），NB（Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A）和BC（B.C. Reg. 34/2019，作为普遍接受的做法）将其列为抗辩理由，NS予以接受（Act s.28(b)）。不得进行；守则称加拿大的绵羊生产从未使用过此法。

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)). Must not be performed; the Code says it has never been used in Canadian sheep production.
