of the City owning or having dogs and cats in their possession to
muzzle such dogs and cats or keep them contained until such time as
notified in his or her proclamation.
A.
All
animal bites or animals acting suspiciously shall be reported to Public
Safety, along with the name and address of the person bitten. Any

clinic for a rabies evaluation. If said animal is to be quarantined
for observation for rabies, the ten (10) day observation period may

shelter or at a veterinarian clinic. Owner(s) of a quarantined animal
shall be liable for cost for the care and maintenance of said animal.
B.
No
Public Safety Officer or other person shall kill or cause to be killed
any animal suspected of being rabid, except when necessary to protect
the safety of persons or other animals or to effect the capture of
said animal.
C.
If
a veterinarian diagnoses rabies in a quarantined animal, then the
animal shall be humanely killed and the head of said animal shall
be sent to a laboratory for pathological examination and confirmation
of the diagnosis. Upon being advised of a confirmed diagnosis of rabies,
the veterinarian shall be required to notify the Director of Public
Safety or his duly authorized representative of said rabies diagnosis,
who shall notify the person bitten and the owner of the animal of
said diagnosis.
D.
The
cost of the confinement of any animal as in this Section provided
and any laboratory tests that may be required shall be at the expense
of the person who owns or has control of said animal.
E.
If
after the period of observation of said animal it is determined that
said animal is not rabid, said animal shall be released to the person
who owns or controls said animal, upon payment by said person of all
costs for the confinement of said animal.
