Right to notice and opportunity to prove bull not subject to castration
Official statutory text
No animal shall be castrated under the authority of this Part without notice to the owner thereof; except where the owner of any scrub bull who fails to keep such animals enclosed in violation of any police jury ordinance or regulation cannot be found with reasonable diligence within twenty days, the police jury may castrate the animal.
When the owner of any animal declared to be a scrub bull by a police jury contends that the animal is entitled to pedigree under the provisions of R.S. 3:2004, he shall, upon reasonable assurance of paying all costs of impounding, be entitled to a reasonable time, not exceeding sixty days, to prove that the animal is not a scrub bull as defined by this Part. If he is unable to prove such fact within such period of time the animal shall be castrated.
