Hogs and goats when permitted to run at large are especially destructive of growing and unharvested crops of corn, oats, other small grains, and of winter cover crops; they are especially difficult and often practically impossible to catch and take up when preying upon these crops. To protect these crops, the animals must be removed or their destructiveness stopped without long delay. Therefore, a notice of twenty-four (24) hours shall be deemed sufficient to enable the owners of these animals to take up and confine them, the notice being sufficient if given verbally or otherwise to the owner, his or her agent, or his or her servant. If these animals are not taken up and confined, any person interested in the preservation of the crops either as landlord, tenant, cropper, or the agent or servant of either of them, may kill and destroy any offending hogs or goats and shall not be liable in damages for, or for the value of, the destroyed animals to any person because of having done so.
