(410 ILCS 605/2) (from Ch. 8, par. 107)
Sec. 2.
In the event any animal shall be inspected by any person herein
authorized to make an inspection, and in his judgment the animal is found
to be afflicted with any disease or ailment which would render it unfit for
human food, the examiner shall forthwith take possession or control of the
animal, and notify the owner or person or corporation in control or
possession thereof that it is unfit for human food; whereupon the animal
shall immediately be killed and the carcass examined by some person or
persons authorized to make inspection thereof. If upon examination the
examiner believes that it is suitable for human food, he shall allow the
person or corporation from whom said animal was taken to make disposition
of the carcass, or the examiner shall cause it to be sold; but if in the
opinion of the inspector the carcass is unwholesome or unfit for human
food, then it shall be stamped, marked, tagged or labeled by the examiner
"Inspected and condemned," and every such condemned carcass shall be
destroyed for the purposes of human food and the examiner shall cause the
offal thereof to be sold: Provided, that if such carcass shall be disposed
of for food purposes by such inspector and the offal sold, the proceeds
thereof shall be accounted for as the Department of Agriculture may
provide.
