An operator shall also provide a sufficient amount of shelter to ensure the animal remains dry from rain and snow and protected from wind when a high wind warning has been issued by the National Weather Service or which creates a wind chill of less than fifty degrees Fahrenheit unless each animal is acclimated to a lower temperature. It addition, an animal shall have enough shade to protect itself from any direct sunlight that is likely to cause overheating or discomfort and remain warm when the atmospheric temperature falls below fifty degrees Fahrenheit. If the ambient temperature falls below the temperature to which an animal is acclimated, the operator shall provide such an additional amount of clean bedding material or other protection as necessary for the animal to remain warm. After considering the ambient temperature, the operator shall provide each animal with a sufficient amount of food and water necessary to sustain it in a healthy condition at that temperature.
