7. Alaska

The beautiful and cold state of Alaska offers animals some protection against cruelty, neglect, death or injury with a decompression chamber, poisoning and cruelty with the intention to threaten, intimidate or terrorize another person. The state’s definition of “animal” covers all vertebrate living creatures that are not humans, but it does not include fish.

Cruelty against animals, killing or injuring them with a decompression chamber and poisoning are considered class C felonies, while the rest barely register as misdemeanors.

The toughest punishments are reserved for the felonies and include up to 5 years in prison and a $50,000 fine, while the misdemeanors are punished with 1 year in jail and $10,000 fines.
