Court accepted the unqualified guilty pleas, balanced mitigation (first‑time offenders, financial hardship, small number of healthy animals with negative disease tests) against public interest in controlling animal movement, and exercised statutory discretion under Sections 68 and 74 to impose moderate fines rather than forfeiture; each defendant was fined RM650 (1 month jail if unpaid) and the proceeds of sale were returned to the owner under Section 74(3).
