Section 359. Carrying animal in a cruel manner

1. A person who carries or
  causes to be carried in or upon any vessel or vehicle or otherwise,  any
  animal  in  a  cruel  or inhuman manner, or so as to produce torture, is
  guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for  not  more  than
  one  year,  or  by  a  fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or by
  both.
    2. A railway corporation, or an owner, agent, consignee, or person  in
  charge  of any horses, sheep, cattle, or swine, in the course of, or for
  transportation, who confines, or  causes  or  suffers  the  same  to  be
  confined,  in  cars  for  a  longer period than twenty-eight consecutive
  hours, or thirty-six consecutive hours where consent  is  given  in  the
  manner  hereinafter  provided,  without  unloading  for  rest, water and
  feeding, during five consecutive hours, unless  prevented  by  storm  or
  inevitable  accident, is guilty of a misdemeanor. The consent which will
  extend the period from twenty-eight to thirty-six hours shall  be  given
  by  the  owner,  or  by person in custody of a particular shipment, by a
  writing separate and apart from any printed  bill  of  lading  or  other
  railroad form. In estimating such confinement, the time during which the
  animals  have been confined without rest, on connecting roads from which
  they are received, must be computed.
