Subd. 10. Mandatory registration. (a) A person may not possess live Cervidae in

the requirements for farmed Cervidae under this section. Cervidae possessed in violation
of this subdivision may be seized and destroyed by the commissioner of natural resources.
(b) A person whose registration is revoked by the board is ineligible for future registration
