§ 9594 Animal Disease Compensation Payments

• •If the government takes or kills your animal to stop a sickness from spreading, they have to pay you for it.
• •The money comes from the department's budget that handles animal diseases.
• •This only applies if the animal was taken or destroyed because of a disease control law.

Your cow gets a bad disease, and the government has to kill it so other cows don’t get sick.

The government will pay you for your cow because they had to destroy it to stop the disease.
