§ 5-27. Disposal of dead animals; method and notification.
Any person or owner who finds a dead animal on his or her property shall immediately place the dead animal in a leak-proof bag. The approved method of disposal shall be to notify the animal control officer and place the bag adjacent to the property line next to the outside back-yard gate. An animal control officer shall pick up the bag and either place it in the animal shelter freezer or take it to the Altus Municipal Landfill for disposal. In no event, shall a person or owner place the dead animal, whether enclosed in a leak-proof bag or not, inside a trash container or in a bag adjacent to the container. Any person or owner who violates this section shall be subject to a fine for violation.
