Treatment of animals.

Added explicit exclusion of amphibians, crustaceans, fish, mollusks, and reptiles from the definition of 'wildlife' in the cruelty statute, clarifying which animals receive felony-level protection.

Created a new misdemeanor offense for first-time cruelty violations involving wildlife, punishable by up to six months imprisonment or a $5,000 fine, while felony penalties apply to subsequent offenses.

Updated license revocation provisions to apply to both first and subsequent violations of wildlife cruelty, with specific penalties for repeat offenders.

Clarified that wildlife found in traps or snares is considered in the owner's possession upon discovery, and removed the requirement to check traps before state-mandated times.
