8.—(1) All baskets for the carriage of pigs by sea shall be of a pattern approved by the Inspector. Each basket shall be of a size large enough completely to contain one pig but not so large as to allow the pig such freedom of movement as may enable it to cause injury to itself or to other pigs. Each basket shall be constructed in such a manner that the legs of the pig cannot protrude.
(2) Not more than one pig shall be carried in one basket. For the carriage of a pig from Singapore by sea the basket, if any, in which it is carried shall be made of round rattan. Baskets for the carriage of pigs by sea into Singapore may be constructed of split bamboo if their edges are so smoothed that they cannot cause injury.
(3) When loading or unloading pigs in baskets each basket shall be lifted by a pair of iron hooks fitted with wire or rope legs of equal length. The hooks shall be hooked securely, one at each end of the basket, in such a manner as to keep the basket in a horizontal position. Not more than two baskets shall be lifted together.
