sec.76 Minimum exhibition period for authorised animal (category C)

This section applies to exhibiting an authorised animal (category C) whether identified in an exhibition licence as a particular animal or only as an animal of a species. See, however, section 265 . It is a condition of the licence that at least 1 authorised animal of the species must be exhibited for a combined total of at least 50 hours in each calendar month (the relevant month ) during the term of the exhibition licence. However, the condition is taken to have been complied with if at least 1 authorised animal of the species has been exhibited— for a combined total of at least 600 hours in the year (the preceding year ) ending immediately before the relevant month; or if animals of the species have been kept under the licence for only part of the preceding year (the interim period )—for a combined total number of hours that corresponds to an average of at least 50 hours in each whole calendar month in the interim period. Authorised animals (category C) of a species have been kept under an exhibition licence for 6 months and 10 days in the preceding year. The animals are exhibited for a combined total of 300 hours averaging 50 hours for each whole month in the period. The condition is taken to have been complied with. An authorised animal (category C2) is exhibited for subsection (2) or (3) only to the extent it is exhibited for at least 3 hours on each occasion it is exhibited. Despite section 13 (2) (a) , the display of an animal at a private event is not an exhibition of the animal for subsection (2) or (3) . Also, despite section 13 (3) , a responsible person for an authorised animal recording the animal’s image is not an exhibition of the animal for subsection (2) or (3) unless the recording is by way of filming for a film or television production in the form of a story, narrative or documentary.
