Cruelty to animals (in the Second Degree) is defined as: "intentionally or wantonly subjects any animal to or causes cruel or injurious mistreatment through abandonment, participates other than as provided in KRS 525.125 in causing it to fight for pleasure or profit, (including, but not limited to being a spectator or vendor at such an event) mutilation, beating, torturing, tormenting, failing to provide adequate food, drink, space, or health care, or by any other means; or subjects any animal in his custody to cruel neglect; or kills any animal." (Note: KRS 525.125 specifies anyone owning the animal or organizing an animal fight is guilty of a Class D Felony and is called Cruelty to Animals in the First Degree.) This is a Class A Misdemeanor with a fine up to $500 and/or imprisonment up to 1 year.
