If a train ran into cattle and someone thought the animals should be put down, I would put a pound to a penny that the person would know where to get a vet a hell of a lot quicker than to get an authorised officer. The vet would reach the scene or be on the end of a telephone line to authorise the killing a long time before an authorised officer would be.
