Any impounded dog or cat which is badly wounded or diseased (not a rabies suspect) and has no identification shall be destroyed immediately in a humane manner. If the animal has identification, the Animal Control Department shall attempt to notify the owner before disposing of the animal, but if the owner cannot be reached readily and the animal is suffering, the Animal Control Department may destroy the animal, at its discretion, in a humane manner.
(Prior Code, § 91.35) (Ord. passed 11-6-1978)
