CODE OF ALABAMA ANIMAL LAWS

 

Below are the subject areas and laws from the Code of Alabama for laws regarding animals in Alabama.  We have gone through the Code to try and make it easier for you to find the applicable laws you might be interested in.  This list should be complete in regard to domestic animal laws, but does NOT have every law in regards to hunting/fishing/trapping which can be found under Title 9, Chapter 11 (Conservation and Natural Resources - Fish, Game & Wildlife). 

 
We are providing this as a 'quick-use' resource only and not as the definitive or absolute source of information in regards to the Code of Alabama or its laws regarding animals or any other subject.
 
To access the Code of Alabama go to: http://alisdb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/ACASLogin.asp .  We encourage everyone to become familiar with this web link as not only can you find all the laws for the state of Alabama, but you can find and follow all the legislative activity for the year when the legislature is in session and search the history of particular statutes.  Educated citizens are involved citizens so let's all get involved!
