Any person with a deceased animal on their premises, or the owner or possessor of any animal dying within the city, must bury the animal so that it is covered by at least two feet of mineral soil to grade either on their premises or in a designated area outside the inhabited portion of the city within 24 hours after the animal has died. Alternatively, the deceased animal may be taken to a veterinarian for cremation within 24 hours of death. An animal may not be buried if it is euthanized chemically. The owner or keeper must arrange to have the remains disposed of properly at their expense.
