RELATING TO ANIMALS AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY -- IMPORTATION OF WILD ANIMALS

Most things are captive breed or captive hatched, which is not a wild animal in my opinion. A wild animal is taken from the wild.

Unfortunately captive bred animals are not considered domestic. Even a lot of domesticated livestock are not-native animals therefore depending on opinion would be a introduced or exotic animal species.
