     § 2302.  Finding, policy and purpose.
        The General Assembly finds that animal health is of major
     economic interest in this Commonwealth. It is the declared
     policy of the Commonwealth to assure the health and welfare of
     animals kept in captivity, to prevent and control diseases and
     dangerous substances that may threaten the safety of animals and
     humans and to provide for desirable management practices for the
     production, keeping and use of domestic animals. It is the
     purpose of this chapter to give the department authority to
     implement this policy.
