Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-6-280.12

A. Whenever any rabbit carcass, part of a carcass, rabbit meat

or rabbit product, or any dead, dying, disabled, or diseased rabbit

is found by any authorized representative of the Board upon any

premises where it is held for purposes of or during or after

distribution in intrastate commerce, and there is reason to believe

that any such article is adulterated or misbranded and is capable of

use as human food, or that it has not been inspected, in violation

of the provisions of the Oklahoma Rabbit and Rabbit Products

Inspection Act or of the Federal Meat Inspection Act or the Federal

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or that such article or animal has

been or is intended to be distributed in violation of any such

provisions, it may be detained by such representative for a period

not to exceed twenty (20) days, pending action pursuant to the

Oklahoma Rabbit and Rabbit Products Inspection Act or notification

of any federal authorities having jurisdiction over such article or

animal, and shall not be moved by any person, firm, or corporation

from the place at which it is located when so detained, until

released by such representative. All official marks may be required

by such representative to be removed from such article or animal

before it is released unless it appears to the satisfaction of the

Board that the article or animal is eligible to retain such marks.

B. 1. Any carcass, part of a carcass, meat or meat food

product of rabbits, or any dead, dying, disabled, or diseased

rabbits, that is being transported in intrastate commerce, or is

held for sale in this state after such transportation, and that:

a. is or has been prepared, sold, transported, or

otherwise distributed or offered or received for

distribution in violation of the Oklahoma Rabbit and

Rabbit Products Inspection Act,

b. is capable of use as human food and is adulterated or

misbranded, or

c. in any other way is in violation of the Oklahoma

Rabbit and Rabbit Products Inspection Act,

may be seized and condemned, at any time, on an information

filed in any proper court as provided in the Oklahoma Rabbit and

Rabbit Products Inspection Act within the jurisdiction of which the

article or animal is found. Any article or animal so condemned

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 2. Agriculture Page 318

shall, after entry of the decree, be destroyed or sold for court

costs, and storage and other fees. Any storage and other fees shall

be paid into the State Treasury. The article or animal shall not be

sold contrary to the provisions of the Oklahoma Rabbit and Rabbit

Products Inspection Act, or the Federal Meat Inspection Act or the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

2. Upon the execution and delivery of a good and sufficient

bond conditioned that the article or animal shall not be sold or

otherwise disposed of contrary to the provisions of the Oklahoma

Rabbit and Rabbit Products Inspection Act, or the laws of the United

States, the court may direct that such article or animal be

delivered to the owner thereof subject to such supervision by

authorized representatives of the Board as is necessary to ensure

compliance with the applicable laws. When a decree of condemnation

is entered against the article or animal and it is released under

bond or destroyed, court costs and storage and other proper fees

shall be awarded against the person, if any, intervening as claimant

of the article or animal. The proceedings shall be at the suit of

and in the name of this state.

C. The provisions of this section shall in no way derogate from

authority for condemnation or seizure conferred by other provisions

of the Oklahoma Rabbit and Rabbit Products Inspection Act, or other

laws of this state.
