They announced that, based on Article 7 of this same ordinance, roaming livestock, tagged or not, will be captured or culled if they reasonably cannot be caught.

If captured or culled livestock is tagged and the owner can be identified, the owner be notified about the capture or culling of their livestock. If livestock is not tagged, potential owners will not be notified.
