(2)
Without proper ventilation or in such a manner that excessive heat or cold could reasonably be expected to cause the animal to become sick or in some other way suffer;
(3)
In such a manner that is inappropriate to the animal's size, weight and other characteristics or without sufficient space to allow the animal to turn about freely and lie in a normal position; or
(4)
On such a surface that could reasonably be expected to cause physical injury.
(B)
Whoever violates this section is guilty of animal confinement a misdemeanor of the second degree. If the offender previously has been convicted of a violation of this section, then animal confinement is a misdemeanor of the first degree.
