(A) Generally. Any animal control officer or law enforcement officer, in carrying out his duties under this chapter, shall make every effort to deal humanely with all animals.
(B) Tranquilizing animals. If in the considered judgment of any animal control officer or law enforcement officer, an attempt to seize an animal would be dangerous to the person attempting that seizure, the animal control officer or law enforcement officer may inject the animal with a chemical tranquilizer which will result in limiting the activity of the animal. The use of a tranquilizer will be only when every other reasonable method of seizure has been attempted.
(C) Putting animals to death. If, in the considered judgment of any animal control officer, or law enforcement officer, an attempt to seize an animal would be dangerous to the person attempting that seizure, then and only then shall an animal control officer or a law enforcement officer be authorized to humanely put the animal to death. It is the intent of this subsection to note that killing any animal is to be done only after every reasonable effort has been made to seize the animal and only after all other procedures are judged impossible.
