     35.12 Expenses of killing, burial, and quarantine; lien. 

    The expense of killing and burial or destruction of a 
 diseased animal, if the killing was ordered by the board, must 
 be borne by the board.  The expense of quarantine, if the animal 
 is taken from the possession of its owner, must be defrayed by 
 the state.  If a quarantined animal is left upon the premises of 
 its owner or keeper, that person shall bear the expense.  If an 
 animal is quarantined while being shipped into the state, the 
 expense must be borne by the owner or keeper.  If the owner or 
 keeper of any animal becomes liable for an expense incurred by 
 the board under this chapter, the board has a lien on the animal 
 and may also maintain an action for the amount.
