§ 30-110 — Impounding and sale of animals

The electors may authorize the distraining, impounding, and sale of cattle, horses, mules, asses, swine, sheep, and goats for penalties incurred and the costs of the proceeding. The sale of animals distrained or impounded shall be conducted, as near as may be practicable, according to the law regulating sales of property by sheriffs for the satisfaction of a judgment of the circuit court. The owner of the animals may redeem them from the purchaser at any time within 3 months from the date of the sale by paying the amount of the purchaser's bid, with reasonable costs for their keeping and interest upon the amount bid at the rate of 10% per annum. The electors may also authorize the impounding of dogs found running at large and provide for their destruction at the end of a reasonable period of time if they are not claimed and the cost of impounding paid.
