Humane law enforcement is a division of law enforcement designed to protect domestic animals from abuse and neglect. Under humane law enforcement, people who commit acts of violence or fail to care for one or more animals they are harboring may be punished with misdemeanor or felony convictions which include fines and/or imprisonment. Animals that are considered domestic under humane law enforcement include dogs, cats, exotic pets, as well as livestock including cattle, horses, goats, chickens etc.
