Section § 10931

This law makes it illegal to disturb burros in a designated sanctuary area, such as by taking, harming, or harassing them, unless another specific law says otherwise. Breaking this law is considered a misdemeanor. However, people who are legally on the sanctuary land and raising cattle are allowed to be there without violating the law about not interfering with burros, as long as they aren't taking or possessing the burros.

Except as otherwise provided in Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 4600) of Part 3, Division 4 of this code it is unlawful to take, possess, harm, molest, harass, or in any manner interfere with any burro which is in the burro sanctuary described in Section 10930 of this code. Any violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor.

The provisions of this section, other than those relating to the taking and possession of burros, do not apply to persons while lawfully on lands included within the sanctuary and engaged in the business of raising cattle.
