There is something in there being an onus on a person to seek advice. My fear is about what would happen if a cattle truck were involved in a crash and a decision to put down animals had to be made quickly because animals had lost limbs or whatever. I have seen that happen when I was on a train that ran into a herd of cattle. The animals must be put down quickly, but one needs also an authorised officer or somebody competent to carry out the job.
