REFERENCED STATUTES & REGULATIONS This chapter contains New Brunswick s general animal protection and related laws enacted prior to July It begins with an overview of the provisions contained in these laws, followed by the full text of the statutes and regulations themselves. The various provisions are organized into categories. Within the first thirteen of these categories, the relevant part of each law is italicized. Category 14 provides a non-italicized version of each of the previously referenced laws, in numerical order. The penalties and related provisions for categories 12 and 13 are generally located within each of those respective sections. New Brunswick may employ similar provisions within other non-animal-specific criminal and civil statutes; may have other more specific statutes in addition to those included; and may have a variety of other animal-related regulations in effect. Canada s federal animal protection laws also apply in New Brunswick. Because the law is continually evolving, always review an official source for the most current language of any statute.
