Every pot-bellied pig required to be licensed by this article shall, no later than the age of eight weeks, be blood tested to ensure that the animal is not carrying pseudo rabies or brucellosis. Such testing shall be repeated annually thereafter. In the event the animal tests positive for either disease, the animal shall be held by the authority or its designee and treated until cured, or if the disease is incurable, the animal shall be destroyed. The cost of holding and, if necessary, destroying the animal shall be borne by the owner of the animal.
