Should any officer or designated person upon call or upon his or her own initiative pick up a large animal such as a horse, cow, or mule or any other animal not acceptable by any animal hospital or shelter, he or she is authorized to call a trucking firm or company. The firm or company shall convey the animal outside the corporate limits to one of the farms which has a working agreement with the town to handle such cases. The disposition of the animal in this case shall be handled in the same manner as though it were in an animal hospital or shelter.
