Owners shall, upon the request of the Commissioner of Agriculture, or his designee, bring livestock and other animals to dipping stations established by the Commissioner and furnish all labor the Commissioner or his designee may require in inspecting, paint marking, dipping or spraying all such animals. In the event that the owners fail to comply with any such request, such livestock and animals may be seized and transported to the dipping station at the expense of the owners. If such livestock and animals cannot be seized, the Commissioner may authorize the destruction of such livestock and animals by whatever humane means the Commissioner elects to use, and the owners shall not be entitled to any compensation therefor. It shall be lawful for the Commissioner or his designee to enter upon any lands or buildings between sunrise and sunset for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this section.
