England and Wales
(1)
For the purposes of Article 12(1) and (2), if a veterinary inspector suspects that an ovine or caprine animal is infected with a TSE, the veterinary inspector must either—
(a)
kill it on the holding immediately;
(b)
serve a notice prohibiting the animal from being moved from the holding until it has been killed; or
(c)
serve a notice directing the occupier to consign it to other premises for killing and prohibiting movement other than in accordance with that direction.
(2)
If the animal is killed (or dies) on the holding, it is an offence to remove the body from the holding or dispose of it except in accordance with a written direction from a veterinary inspector.
