The Act empowers the Magistrate of any district to authorize the establishment of public pounds. The senior officer of police in every police district shall act as pound-keeper of all pounds in his district unless some other person is appointed by the Magistrate of the district with the approval of the Minister. The owner or occupier of any enclosed, cultivated, or pasture land, or any person authorized by him, may seize any poundable animal found trespassing on such land and may send or take every such animal to the pound of the district.
