Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subchapter, any animal seized and impounded which is badly wounded, diseased (not a rabies suspect) or unweaned and has no identification shall be destroyed immediately in a humane manner. If the animal has identification, the Nash County Health Department shall attempt to notify the owner or keeper before disposing of the animal. If the owner or keeper cannot be reached readily and the animal is suffering, the County Health Department may destroy the animal at its discretion in a humane manner.
