The owner of a dead animal may not deposit or leave the animal on public property or the property of another person. Dead animals shall be promptly disposed of by cremation, burial, or other sanitary means. On request, the Agency shall pick up dead dogs, cats, and other small domestic animals for disposal for a fee not to exceed the actual cost of the disposal. In addition to other assigned duties, an Agency officer or an authorized representative of the Agency shall collect dead animals found on public grounds or County roads and dispose of the carcasses and destroy critically sick and injured animals found on public property or on the request of the owner of the animal.
