The owner of any trespassing animals sold under the provisions of this chapter may, at any time within ninety (90) days of the date of the sale, redeem such animals from the purchaser or assignee having the same in his possession, upon paying to the purchaser or assignee the sum for which the animals were originally sold together with ten percent (10%) additional, and a reasonable compensation for the care and keeping of the same. If the purchaser or assignee refuses to give the animals to the owner providing his title to the same and on his tendering the amount due as provided in this chapter, the owner may maintain an action at law to recover the same; provided, that the purchaser or any assignee who has disposed of the animals shall not be liable to the owner of any amount. If no redemption of such animals is made within ninety (90) days after the date of the sale, then the sale shall be absolute and shall vest the title to the animals in the purchaser or his assignee. Any person selling or disposing of an animal within ninety (90) days of the sale thereof, under the provisions of this chapter, shall notify the purchaser of the amount paid for the animal at that time, and if he fails to do so he shall be liable for any loss that may accrue to the purchaser by reason of the animal being redeemed for a less amount than he paid therefor.
