(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, it shall be unlawful for any person to feed garbage to animals.

(3) As used in this section, garbage shall mean all waste material derived in whole or in part from fruits, vegetables, meats, or other plant or animal material, including poultry material, and any other refuse of any character whatsoever that has been associated with any such material, resulting from the handling, preparation, cooking, or consumption of food, except that such term shall not include material exempted by the Department of Agriculture in rules and regulations adopted pursuant to subsection (4) of this section.
