What does state law regulate?

• A. Zoning for urban farms
• B. Animal abuse and neglect
• C. Intellectual property related to breeding
• D. Trade tariffs on animal products

Answer: (B)

State law regulates animal abuse and neglect by defining cruelty, setting minimum care standards, and establishing enforcement mechanisms and penalties to protect animals within the state. These statutes empower authorities to investigate and intervene when animals are mistreated or neglected, and they may cover licensing and welfare requirements for facilities that hold or care for animals. Zoning for urban farms is usually handled by local governments through land-use ordinances, not state welfare statutes. Intellectual property related to breeding is primarily governed by federal mechanisms (patents, trademarks) with some state contract and property law playing a secondary role, and trade tariffs on animal products are federal policy.
