(a) If an animal without identification is suffering, injured or otherwise diseased and the owner cannot be found, it will be the duty of the animal control officer to determine if that animal for humane reasons, due to the extent of the injury and/or the suffering, shall be destroyed. The city and animal control officer shall not be held liable in any way for this humane act.
(b) If an injured animal with a license tag issued by the city is picked up, it shall, if possible, be delivered to a licensed veterinarian. All expenses of the city and the veterinarian charges and fees must be paid by the animal owner.
