Whenever any horse, cow, or other animal is injured by a train or otherwise on the right-of-way of any railroad company, it is the duty of trackwalkers, section men, brakemen, conductors, firefighters, engineers, and other employees of said company to care for such animal at once and report the facts to the nearest station agent and then notify the state board of stock inspection commissioners. It is the duty of the agent to give immediate notice, when possible, of the condition of such animal to the owner or the owner's agent whose duty it is forthwith upon receipt of notice to have such animal properly cared for. When immediate notice to the owner is not possible, it is the duty of the station agent to have such injured animal properly cared for without delay.
