The Chief of Police or the animal control officer and the members of the Police Department may kill any dangerous or vicious animal, including dogs within the city of any kind, when necessary for the protection of persons or property. Such animals shall, if reasonably possible, be killed by means other than shooting such animal in the brain so as to preserve the brain for laboratory determination of whether such animal had contracted rabies. Any such animal shall be preserved as necessary for such rabies determination.
