§ 3.1-734. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Quarantine against diseased animals or poultry in other state...
When the Board or State Veterinarian shall have good reason to believe of the existence of contagious and infectious diseases of animals or poultry in localities in other states, territories or countries, or that conditions exist therein which, in the judgment of the Board or of the State Veterinarian, render the importation of domestic animals or poultry from such localities a menace to the health of the livestock or poultry of this Commonwealth, the Board or the State Veterinarian shall, by proclamation, prohibit the importation of any or all kinds of livestock, or poultry from any locality of other states, territories or countries, into this Commonwealth, unless accompanied by a certificate of health given by a properly authorized veterinarian designated by him, and the cost thereof may be charged to the owner or person in possession. If, in the opinion of the examining veterinarian, there is danger from contagion or infection, any or all such animals or poultry may be placed in close quarantine at the expense of the owner until all danger of infection or contagion is passed; thereupon, the animals or poultry shall be released by the order of the State Veterinarian or other veterinarian in charge.
