CHAPTER I.—IMPORTATION.

Regulation of Importation of Horses, Asses, and Mules.

1. No horse, ass, or mule brought to Great Britain from any other country, except Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man, shall be landed in Great Britain unless it is accompanied by a certificate of a veterinary surgeon to the effect that he examined the animal immediately before it was embarked, or whilst it was on board the vessel, as the case may be, and that he found that the animal did not show symptoms of glanders (including farcy), epizootic lymphangitis, ulcerative lymphangitis, dourine, horse-pox, sarcoptic mange, psoroptic mange, influenza, ringworm, or strangles.

CHAPTER II.—CARRIAGE BY WATER.

Provisions as to Vessels carrying Horses, &c.

5. The provisions of this Article shall apply to all vessels on which horses, asses, or mules are carried to or from any port in Great Britain.

(Fittings of Vessels.)

(i.) Each horse, ass, or mule shall be carried in a separate box or stall, except that brood mares, ponies, asses, mules, and unbroken horses, and horses in charge of special attendants, may be carried in pens. Boxes, stalls, and pens shall be of sufficient size, and shall be so constructed as to be of a substantial character, and of sufficient strength to withstand the action of the weather and to resist the weight of any animal that may be thrown against them. A movable box shall be so secured as to prevent its displacement by the motion of the vessel.

(ii.) The floor of each box, stall, or pen shall, in order to prevent slipping, be fitted with suitable battens, and be strewn with a proper quantity of sand or other suitable substance.

(iii.) The vessel shall be provided with sufficient and suitable means for slinging the animals carried.

(iv.) The fittings or other parts of a vessel, box, stall, or pen likely to cause injury or unnecessary suffering to horses, asses, or mules shall be properly and securely fenced off or padded, as the case may require.
