TITLE 4 ANIMALS

Section 5. Disposal of Diseased, Disabled, or Dead Animals, 4-5-1 through 4-5-11.

ARTICLE 5 DEER FARMING

4-5-6. Destruction of diseased and disabled animals which have been abandoned.

For the purpose of putting a speedy end to the suffering of hopelessly diseased and disabled animals, any person finding any abandoned domestic animal which is diseased or injured past recovery may apply to any magistrate of the county, who may summarily decide whether such animal should be destroyed, after giving notice to the owner, if known, whenever such notice can be given without defeating the object of this Code section. The order authorizing the destruction of such animal shall not defeat the owner's claim for damages against the person destroying or procuring the destruction of such animal.
