(2)

Any Facility for Class 1 exotic canines shall comply with the following:

(a)

Outdoor and Indoor Facilities: Outdoor and indoor facilities shall be constructed and maintained so as to provide sufficient space for each animal to make normal postural and social adjustments with freedom of movement; to keep the animals(s) clean, dry, and safe from injury; and to provide the animal(s) ready access to clean water and wholesome food.

All exotic canines that are held within a single enclosure shall be selected so as to be compatible with each other and shall not be housed near other animals whose presence may cause them stress or other discomfort; and

(d)

(3)

The primary enclosure or caging for Class 2 exotic canines shall be no less than 10 times the area occupied by the animal when standing on four feet.

(4)

No exotic canine may be restrained by a tether as primary means of confinement.
