It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to permit any dead animal to remain upon the premises of such person, or for the owner of any dead animal knowingly to permit the same to remain upon any public property or upon any premises within the city. If the owner of such dead animal does not remove the dead animal himself or cause the dead animal to be properly disposed of within a reasonable time, the city may cause it to be removed and thereupon assess the actual costs of such removal and disposal against the owner, and may avail itself of all remedies in law and equity to enforce such removal and recover the costs thereof.
