Stat. § 173-B:1, 173:B4, 173:B5 | NH ST §§ 173-B:1, 173:B4, 173:B5 | New Hampshire now considers animal cruelty to be “abuse” under its protection of persons from domestic violence statute.

| Map of States with Laws on Fraudulent Assistance Animals | This map covers states with laws on fraudulent assistance animals in housing. These laws establish a procedure for requesting an emotional support animal or other assistance animal in housing for a person with a disability and also establish a penalty for fraudulently claiming an assistance animal. As of 2024, only sixteen (16) states have such laws. This laws are different from laws that penalize individuals for falsely presenting their pets as service animals in places of public accommodation (that map can be found here). | State map | |||
| IN RE: MICHEAL McCALL AND KATHY McCALL | 52 Agric. Dec. 986 (1993) | 1993 WL 459890 (U.S.D.A.) | This opinion held that the USDA may impose sanctions even if respondent dealer is not licensed. Respondents were operators of kennel facilities in Washington, Kansas, and in nearby Reynolds, Nebraska. In 1991 and 1992, Respondents each applied for dealer's licenses under the Act and both were denied. The Judicial Officer affirmed that part of the Order by Judge Bernstein (ALJ) assessing civil penalties of $7,500, and ordering Respondents to cease and desist from engaging in any activity for which a license is required without being licensed, and failing to maintain their facilities in accordance with the regulations and standards involving housing, shelter, veterinary care, records, sanitation, cleaning, food, and water. However, the Judicial Officer increased from 1 year to 10 years the period in which Respondents are disqualified from becoming licensed under the Act and regulations. | Case | |
| Donald HENDRICK and Concerned Citizens for True Horse Protection, Plaintiffs v. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA), and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (Aphis), Defendants. | Slip Copy, 2007 WL 2900526 (W.D.Ky.) |
This matter is before the Court on the motion of Defendant United States Department of Agriculture's Motion to Dismiss. The Horse Protection Act (HPA) is federal legislation which outlaws the practice of “soring” (harm to the feet or limbs of horses in order to enhance the attractiveness of a light-stepped or high-stepping gait during horse-show performances), which is a particular concern for the breed of Tennessee Walking Horses. Plaintiffs seek to have the Court define “sore” and “scar” beyond the definitions provided in the regulations (specifically the “scar rule”). The court found, however, that any alleged or threatened injury based on the HPA or the Scar Rule has not yet occurred. Mere uncertainty about the HPA and Scar Rule alone does not create an injury in fact. |
