Except under the direction and supervision of the Health Officer or the authorized and trained representative of the Health Officer, an individual may not kill or cause to be killed a rabies animal, an animal that has bitten a human being, or an animal suspected of having been exposed to rabies. A person may not remove the animal from the jurisdiction of the County without having first received written permission from the State Veterinarian or a representative of the State Veterinarian. If there is a possibility of the animal escaping or of further biting by the animal, the animal may be killed, and the Health Officer or the authorized and trained representative of the Health Officer shall be notified immediately.
