                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION TO OWNERS OF EUTHANIZED OR SLAUGHTERED ANIMALS;
LIABILITY OF PURCHASER OF CONDEMNED ANIMAL (§ 3.2-6021)

In addition to the amount received for the carcasses of animals euthanized or
slaughtered, further compensation may be paid to the owners by the Department
out of funds appropriated for that purpose at a rate not exceeding that set
forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, provided that the total amount
received by the owner shall not exceed the appraised value of such animal or
animals less the amount received for slaughter.
		Whenever the owner selling an animal that has been condemned is unable to
obtain compensation out of state and federal appropriations because of the
failure of the purchaser to furnish the seller with such proof of slaughter as
may be required, the purchaser shall, in addition to the agreed purchase price,
be liable to the seller for the amounts he would otherwise receive out of state
and federal appropriations.
