For the purposes of this section: 10 (a) The term "horseflesh" shall mean the flesh of a dead horse, 11 including the animal's viscera, skin, hide, hooves, and bones; and 12 (b) The term "slaughter" shall mean the intentional killing, or having 13 another kill a horse if such person knows that the purpose of such kill- 14 ing is using any part of such horse for human or animal consumption. 15 5. A violation of this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine 16 of not more than one thousand dollars per horse for an individual 17 person, and up to two thousand five hundred dollars per horse for a 18 corporation, association, or other entity, for the first violation.

Nothing in this 27 section shall prohibit a person from otherwise lawful disposition of a 28 deceased horse or any part of such horse. 29 7. If any provision of this section, or the application thereof to any 30 person or circumstances, is held invalid or unconstitutional, such inva- 31 lidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect other provisions or 32 applications of this section that can be given effect without the inval- 33 id or unconstitutional provision or application, and to such end the 34 provisions of this section shall be severable. 35 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after 36 it shall have become a law.
