N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 356: Failure to provide proper food and drink to impounded animal

§ 356. Failure to provide proper food and drink to impounded animal. A

person who, having impounded or confined any animal, refuses or neglects

to supply to such animal during its confinement a sufficient supply of

good and wholesome air, food, shelter and water, is guilty of a

misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for not more than one year, or

by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or by both. In case any

animal shall be at any time impounded as aforesaid, and shall continue

to be without necessary food and water for more than twelve successive

hours, it shall be lawful for any person, from time to time, and as

often as it shall be necessary, to enter into and upon any pound in

which any such animal shall be so confined, and to supply it with

necessary food and water, so long as it shall remain so confined; such

person shall not be liable to any action for such entry, and the

reasonable cost of such food and water may be collected by him of the

owner of such animal, and the said animal shall not be exempt from levy

and sale upon execution issued upon a judgment therefor.
