(a) Whenever any animal bites any person, the Mayor may order such animal quarantined for a period extending not longer than ten days from the time of the biting. No owner or person in custody or possession of such animal shall fail to comply with such quarantine order. All expenses incurred for the keeping of such animal or the necessary tests to determine whether rabies exists shall be borne exclusively by the owner or keeper of such animal, or the fact that any animal has bitten any other person. No person having knowledge of the existence of any rabies, shall fail to immediately report such information to the Police Department.

Such order shall be posted in five conspicuous places in the Village for such time as the Mayor deems necessary. Any dog found at large during the existence of such quarantine order shall be impounded and may be destroyed by Village authority without notice to the owner.
