Section 72-A. Feeding of garbage, offal or carcasses to cattle, swine or poultry prohibited

1.  Garbage  fed  to  cattle,  swine  or  poultry  contributes  to  the spread of vesicular exanthema, cholera, erysipelas,
  foot  and  mouth  disease,  trichinosis  and  other  infectious   animal
  diseases. Meat from animals so afflicted, when consumed by human beings,
  is  a  primary  source  of  trichinosis  and other human sickness. It is
  therefore declared to be the public policy of this state to prohibit the
  feeding of garbage, offal or carcasses to cattle, swine  or  poultry  to
  assist  in  the eradication of animal diseases and for the protection of
  the public health and public welfare.
