If,\nfrom such examinations or tests, any swine be found to be infected with\nor exposed to hog cholera or pseudorabies and such condition be such as\nto cause the swine to be a menace to the health of other animals the\ncommissioner may order such swine to be immediately slaughtered or\notherwise disposed of as he may prescribe.\n 2. No swine infected with or exposed to hog cholera or pseudorabies\nshall be sold or removed from the premises where examined, or from any\nother premises, except upon written permission of the commissioner.
