Any person having knowledge of a dog or cat or other animal bite upon any person or other animal, which bite occurred within the city, shall immediately report such fact to the Police Department. It is the duty of health care professionals and veterinarians to report to the Police Department the existence of any animal known or suspected to be suffering from rabies. This section shall not apply if the bite occurred while the animal was being treated, confined, or housed within a veterinary facility that has actual knowledge that the animal is currently inoculated for rabies and has a certification to prove such inoculation. In such cases it is up to the discretion of the facility.
