Verbatim regulatory fact — prohibited-species keeping (C1 substring of source_file — original Dutch, Wet dieren Art. 2.2)
> 1 Het is verboden dieren te houden die niet behoren tot door Onze Minister aangewezen diersoorten of diercategorieën. 2 Bij algemene maatregel van bestuur worden de criteria vastgesteld op grond waarvan Onze Minister diersoorten of diercategorieën, bedoeld in het eerste lid, aanwijst. 3 Bij algemene maatregel van bestuur kan worden geregeld dat het verbod, bedoeld in het eerste lid, slechts van toepassing is op één of meer dierklassen.
English translation (explanatory, not the verified claim): > (1) It is prohibited to keep animals that do not belong to species or categories of animals designated by Our Minister. (2) By general administrative order the criteria are laid down on the basis of which Our Minister designates the species or categories referred to in the first paragraph. (3) By general administrative order it may be provided that the prohibition referred to in the first paragraph applies only to one or more classes of animals. (English translation of the Dutch original.)
Verbatim regulatory fact — general duty of care title (C1 substring of source_file — original Dutch, Wet dieren Art. 1.4)
> Artikel 1.4. Algemene zorgplicht
Wet dieren Art. 1.4 ("Algemene zorgplicht" — general duty of care) imposes a general keeper/owner duty of care for animals. Its article title is verbatim in the source; the full article body (the specific duty-of-care text) is loaded via client-side scripting on wetten.overheid.nl and was not captured in the static DOM this pass, so it is not quoted here (no fabrication). The existence and numbering of Art. 1.4 are confirmed by the source table of contents.

Note on invasive-species keeping in the Netherlands
The keeping, breeding, trade, and import of invasive alien species of Union concern in the Netherlands is governed directly by EU Regulation (EU) 1143/2014 (a Regulation, directly applicable in all member states — no national transposition required), already covered in the EU IAS topic of this project. Wet dieren Art. 2.2 is the national gate that prohibits keeping animal species not on the Minister's approved list — the mechanism by which many non-native/exotic pets are controlled at the national level. France (legifrance.gouv.fr) is Cloudflare-protected and was not reachable from this machine, so no French national keeper-law topic was produced this pass (honest-pending, no fabrication).
