§ 16302 Domestic Livestock Definition

• •The word “animal” includes cows, horses, mules, burros, sheep, goats, and pigs.
• •It also includes the hide, carcass, or any piece of a carcass of those animals.
• •Whenever the law talks about an “animal,” this definition decides what’s covered.

A rancher sells a cow hide to a leather company.

Because the law says a hide is part of an “animal,” the hide is treated just like the cow itself for any rules that use the word “animal.”
