chattels or animals for his reasonable charges for work or
services performed or feed provided when he:
          (i) Makes, alters, repairs, bestows work upon,
transports, stores or keeps the same; or

          (ii) Feeds, herds, pastures or cares for any domestic
or wild animal lawfully held in captivity. Any person creating a
lien under this paragraph shall file the lien in the office of
the secretary of state.

     (b) W.S. 29-7-101 through 29-7-106 shall not apply where a
lien is provided by W.S. 29-7-301 and 34.1-7-209. A person
engaging in self-storage operations whereby members of the
public rent space from the person to store goods and chattels
and retain control over access to the goods and chattels is not

a lien under this section. A towing and recovery service as
defined in W.S. 31-13-101(a)(xiv) is not a warehouse under W.S.
34.1-7-102(a)(xiii) and is entitled to a lien under this
section.
