§ 16525 Animal Seizure Removal Ban
This law says you can't take away any animal, hide, or carcass that a police officer or inspector has taken and kept, unless the officer who took it lets you have it back.
A health inspector finds a sick chicken on a farm, seizes it, and puts it in a holding pen. The farmer cannot bring the chicken home or move it elsewhere until the inspector says it’s okay.
Because the inspector seized the chicken, the farmer must wait for the inspector to release it; taking it away on his own would break the law.
