Animals: care and treatment; restitution for care and treatment of certain forfeited animals; impose penalties upon owner. Amends sec. 50 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.50).

HB 5360 amends Michigan's penal code to clarify standards for animal care and define neglect. It requires owners, breeders, and pet shops to provide adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinary care to prevent health harm, while specifically prohibiting tethering dogs with chains shorter than three times their length (except for safety during training or events). The bill also defines "abandonment" to exclude cases where owners make reasonable efforts to locate lost animals during travel. These changes directly affect anyone responsible for animals in Michigan, imposing penalties for violations like failing to meet care standards or causing unnecessary suffering.
