Statute in Full:
(a) A trust for the care of one or more specific animals living at the settlor's death is valid. The trust terminates upon the death of all animals living at the settlor's death and covered by the terms of the trust.
(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, a trust for a declared purpose that is not impossible of attainment is valid notwithstanding that the trust might not be deemed to be for charitable purposes.
(c) A trust authorized by subsection (a) or (b) of this section shall not be invalid because it lacks an identifiable person as beneficiary if such trust would otherwise be valid if treated solely for purposes of this subsection (c) of this section as a charitable trust.
(d) A trust authorized by subsection (a) or (b) of this section may be enforced by a person appointed in the terms of the trust or, if there is no such person, by a person appointed by the Court of Chancery. A person who has an interest in the welfare of the animal or animals or in the declared purpose of the trust other than a general public interest may petition the Court of Chancery for an order that appoints a person to enforce the terms of the trust or to remove that person.
(e) Property of a trust authorized by this section may be applied only to its intended use. Upon the termination of the trust, any property of the trust remaining shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the trust or, in the absence of such terms, as provided in § 3592 of this title.
