Which action is an offense in dog racing or coursing by using a live animal as a lure?

• A. Using a man-made lure
• B. Using a live animal as a lure in dog race training or dog coursing on a racetrack
• C. Providing dog food
• D. Training dogs for racing lawfully

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that laws against animal cruelty in sporting contexts prohibit using live animals as lures. Using a live animal as a lure in dog race training or dog coursing on a racetrack is an offense because it subjects the animal to fear, stress, and a real risk of injury for entertainment, which these laws aim to prevent. A man-made lure is allowed and is designed to replicate the chase without harming animals. Providing dog food or training dogs for racing lawfully are normal, permissible actions and are not offenses.
