A. Any authorized village official may impound any dog or cat which he believes from appearance or conduct to be infected with the disease known as hydrophobia or rabies. Where it is impossible or dangerous to seize such dog or cat and a reasonable effort has been made to seize the dog or cat, any village official may kill such dog or cat in a proper and humane manner.
B. Any person who shall suspect that any dog or cat is infected with hydrophobia or rabies shall report his suspicions to the proper village officials, describing the dog or cat and giving the name of the owner if known. Any such dog or cat shall, upon demand of any village official, be delivered to such village official. If, upon examination by the village official, the dog or cat shall prove in fact to be infected with said disease, the dog or cat may be killed, in a proper and humane manner, by said official.
C. No person shall knowingly harbor or keep any dog or cat infected with hydrophobia or rabies or any dog or cat known to have been bitten by a dog or cat known to have been infected with hydrophobia or rabies, or shall fail to report to the proper village officials the existence of a dog or cat which he knows to be infected with hydrophobia or rabies.
