(a) An owner or attendant of livestock or domestic animals may not allow the animals to be on a highway. This section does not prohibit the movement of livestock across or along a highway from one section of property to another if the livestock are tended and the movement can be made safely.
(b) A pasture, range, barnyard or other livestock area adjacent to a highway must be fenced to prevent livestock from wandering onto the highway, unless the livestock are in a grazing district and are tended as provided in AS 03.35.010 .
(c) Every person riding an animal or driving an animal-drawn vehicle upon a roadway has all of the rights and is subject to all of the duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle in this chapter, except those provisions which by their very nature have no application.
(d) No person may drive a motor vehicle on a highway or vehicular way or area, so as to intentionally annoy, injure or kill an animal, except that the owner of livestock or his agents may use motor vehicles in the management and control of their livestock. This subsection does not apply to activity expressly authorized by the Department of Fish and Game, or activity expressly authorized by a federal agency on lands in their respective jurisdictions.
(e) The driver of a motor vehicle shall exercise care to avoid causing a person to lose control of a domestic animal being ridden, herded, tended or otherwise controlled by that person.
