the specimen is, or is derived from, the offspring born or otherwise produced in a controlled environment of either of the following:

the breeding stock was established in accordance with the legal provisions applicable to it at the time of acquisition and in a manner not detrimental to the survival of the species concerned in the wild;
the breeding stock is maintained without the introduction of specimens from the wild, except for the occasional addition, in accordance with the legal provisions applicable and in a manner not detrimental to the survival of the species concerned in the wild, of animals, eggs or gametes exclusively for one or more of the following purposes:
to prevent or alleviate deleterious inbreeding, the magnitude of such addition being determined by the need for new genetic material;
