text: Frederick Minshall: here's the relevant definition of "game": "means any species of bird, reptile, and mammal, including a feral domestic animal, found or introduced in the state, except domestic birds and mammals; and game may be classified by regulation as big game, small game, fur bearers or other categories considered essential for carrying out the intention and purposes of AS 16.05 - AS 16.40"
  
  Regarding the dog Sasha that was trapped, the term "feral domestic animal" does not apply. Plus it further exempts "except domestic birds and mammals".
  
  And the term "under direct control of an owner" does not equate to a leash.
  
  So where does Sasha fit into this?
