Section 1 establishes that “animal” means cattle, horses, swine, sheep, bison, deer, elk, goats, mules and asses; and “animal keeper” means a person who receives payment for boarding, feeding or caring for an animal owned by another person. An animal keeper has a lien on an animal and gear for the debt incurred in relation to the animal and gear. In addition to all other remedies provided by law, an animal keeper may detain in his custody and possession the animal and any gear in relation to the animal and may sell the animal or gear by public auction or in any other commercially reasonable manner.
