<br /> and subject to punishment thereof;
<br /> 5. Give away any live animal as a prize for, or as an inducement to
<br /> enter, any contest, game, or other competition, or as an inducement to enter a
<br /> place of amusement; or offer such vertebrates as an incentive to enter any
<br /> business agreement whereby the offer was for the purpose of attracting trade;
<br /> 6. Fail, as the operator of a motor vehicle which strikes a domestic
<br /> animal, to stop at once and render such assistance as may be possible and fail

<br /> the accident to the Everett animal control or the Everett police department;
