Penalties
102. Section 46 of the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006 stipulates the penalties for offences under Part 2 of the Act. It is provided that a person who commits an offence under Part 2 is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale or to both. The carrying out of a procedure which involves the interference with the sensitive tissues or bone structure of an animal which is not exempted is an offence under the Act. The carrying out of a procedure which is exempted under these Regulations without complying with any specified conditions is also an offence under the Act.
