Tougher penalties for harming police/fire animals
Wisconsin's higher criminal penalties apply when offenders know an animal is used for police or fire department work. Intentional or negligent violations are Class A misdemeanors unless the felony rules apply. Intentional violations causing injury are Class H felonies: up to a $10,000 fine, six years in prison, or both. Intentional violations causing death are Class G felonies: up to a $25,000 fine, 10 years in prison, or both. Other violations remain subject to a Class B forfeiture.
