In accordance with the provisions of this Act, if animals that died or have fetuses aborted, due to physical examination, immunization, vaccination, medicated bathing, or medication administered by animal health inspection officer, or culled animals and materials are destroyed, compensation are granted unless the owner or keeper violates the requirements of Paragraph 1 of Article 12, or fails to follow the instructions of animal health inspection officer. The competent authority of the special municipality or county (city) shall organize an evaluation committee to assess the price and issue compensation fees based on the following standards: 1. Healthy animals dying or fetuses aborted as a result of physical examination, immunization, vaccination, medical bath, or medication, are compensated within the evaluated price; 2. Animals culled for suspicion to be infected or potentially infected with an infectious animal disease are compensated within the evaluated price; 3. Animals culled for etiology identification are compensated within the evaluated price; 4. Animals culled for having an infectious animal disease are compensated within three-fifths of the evaluated price. However, if the disease is a new one, or an old one reappearing after a lapse of over two years within national borders, the owner or keeper who reports the first case voluntarily will be compensated within the evaluated price for animals culled; 5. Materials destroyed are compensated within half of the evaluated price; and 6. Upon prior consent of authorities, animals slaughtered at the slaughterhouse to limit the potential of disease outbreak are compensated fully to cover the difference between evaluated price and the actual sales price. The composition and evaluation standards for the valuation committee in the preceding Paragraph are prescribed by the central competent authority. No compensation is paid for animals or materials that are handled in accordance with Subparagraphs 2 to 5 of Paragraph 1 during import and export quarantine, or animals that die during quarantine period. The compensation mentioned under Paragraph 1 is borne by the competent authority of the special municipality or county (city); however the central competent authority may provide subsidies.
