Compensation for condemned livestock. Appeals.

(b) The amount paid by the state for any livestock that is condemned pursuant to this section and sold for slaughter, shall be deposited by the commissioner into the General Fund. The amount paid by the state to the owner of any such animal shall be limited to the difference between the fair market value of such animal, established pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, and the amount of any indemnity or payment for such animal received by the owner from the federal government. No compensation shall be paid to the owner of any such livestock by the state unless such animal has been destroyed to prevent the spread of an infectious or contagious disease or to protect the public health. Any animal that is condemned shall be identified with a tag, brand device or marking approved by the commissioner. No such animal shall be moved, euthanized, sold or used for food, except under the direction of the commissioner. (c) Any person aggrieved by an order of the commissioner to condemn livestock pursuant to this section may appeal such order to the superior court for the judicial district of Hartford not later than seven days after issuance of such order. The right to recover damages is purely the creation of statute. 72 C. 285. Cited. 190 C. 622.
