§ 5-17. Disposal of animal and fowl carcasses.

Latest version.

Every keeper of an animal or fowl shall, immediately upon knowledge of the death of such animal or fowl, dispose of the carcass thereof in a lawful and sanitary manner. Any such keeper neglecting to so dispose of such carcass within six (6) hours after knowledge of its death shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. If any keeper shall permit any such carcass to remain in the city in violation of this section, the division of refuse disposal shall cause such animal or fowl to be removed at the expense of such keeper, who shall forthwith repay to the city the amount of such expenses, and such amount may be recovered from such person on behalf of the city as debts of like amounts are now recovered by law. It shall be unlawful to convey any dead animal from the city unless it is entirely covered so that no portion thereof is visible.
