Since the Senate bill addresses primarily a Criminal Code cruelty to animals approach, it is really a question of jurisdiction over the animal at the time of the taking into captivity and the things that happen while in captivity.
The question of whether or not, scientifically, there are things that can be done, in order to address the care of the animal, while in the wild or while under distress, is probably something Dr. Visser can better address than I can because that's a scientific question.
