Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to the contrary, an injured or diseased animal need not be retained four days, but may be disposed of at any time in accordance with the state’s Humane Euthanasia in Animal Shelters Act, being 510 ILCS 72/1 et seq., when in the reasonable discretion of the Animal Control Officer, it would be more humane and reasonable to do so, rather than provide veterinary care or further impoundment.
