AI Summary
This bill includes wildlife animals as those subject to the animal cruelty provisions of the agriculture and markets law. Specifically, it amends the existing law to define "aggravated cruelty" to animals as intentionally killing or causing serious physical injury to companion animals or wildlife, with certain exceptions for lawful hunting, trapping, fishing, agricultural practices, and other authorized activities. The bill aims to expand the scope of the animal cruelty law to include not just domestic pets, but also wild animals, in order to provide them with greater legal protections against acts of intentional harm or suffering.
