the director of agriculture or the director's authorized representative may order
the immediate slaughter of the animal in accordance with division (D)(3) of section 941.10 of the Revised Code and in the manner the director determines is most efficient, or may board or stable
the animal at a location that can provide and care for the animal. All costs incurred as the result of a slaughter or boarding under this section shall

any costs the department has incurred. No person taking action as authorized by this section is liable for any losses incurred
