Section 25:
Resort to euthanasia for infected animals.
If the Veterinary Officer deems it necessary that an
animal, which is infected with a scheduled disease, euthanasia has to be resorted to, for preventing the
spread of the disease to other animals in the area or to protect public health if the disease is of zoonotic
importance, he may, notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, by
an order in writing, direct euthanasia of the animal and the carcass disposed of immediately to his
satisfaction.
