cold and heat, and protection from entanglements or other inherently
dangerous conditions, including attack by predatory animals. Potable
water must be available to the animal at all times.
Whoever violates the provisions of this section
shall, if it is the first offense, be given a written warning, and
if it is the second or subsequent offense, shall be subject to a fine
