4. If the owner of a wild, exotic or dangerous animal can establish to the police department's satisfaction that an animal ordinarily considered as wild, dangerous or exotic is not dangerous to people or other animals and that the animal is healthy, safe and tame as a pet, then the city clerk-treasurer may issue a permit to the owner to keep such animal in the city limits.

PROCLAMATION OF RABIES

SECTION 4-701 DOGS AND CATS CONFINED; WHEN.

1. When the health officer or chief of police determines and certifies that a dog, a cat, or other animal in the city or within five (5) miles of the city is or was infected with rabies and that an epidemic of rabies threatens the city, the council, by resolution, may order all dogs to be confined, and if deemed desirable, all cats to be confined, during a period of time to be determined by the council. Such resolution or an adequate notice of its passage shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the city and shall go into effect on the day following such publication unless the resolution prescribes a later time;
2. While such resolution is in effect, it is unlawful for any owner to permit a dog or cat to be at large in violation thereof.

SECTION 4-702 QUARANTINE OF ANIMALS FOR OBSERVATION.

1. The identity and address of the owner of any animal that bites a person shall be promptly furnished to the animal control officer and the county health department. The animal, regardless of its immunization status, shall be securely quarantined at a veterinary hospital of the owner's choice at the owner's expense. The animal shall be observed by a licensed veterinarian for a period of ten (10) days, and may not be released until such reasonable determination has been made that the animal is not infected with rabies, unless the bite was a severe bite by an unimmunized animal. In circumstances of a severe bite (bite on the head, face, neck or upper extremities; or deep lacerations or multiple bite wounds) by an unimmunized animal, the biting animal should be humanely killed immediately, without damaging the head, and the head removed and shipped, under refrigeration, for examination at the Oklahoma State Department of Health. If the animal is not immediately available for testing, the individuals exposed should consult with their physician concerning the need for immediate initiation for rabies prophylaxis. In case of animals whose ownership is unknown, such quarantine shall be at the city animal shelter. If an owner becomes known, the animal may be reclaimed by the owner if adjudged free of rabies, and such owner shall then pay any related charges for confinement. Signs of rabies in wild animals cannot be interpreted reliably; therefore, any wild animal that exposes a person should be killed at once (without unnecessary damage to the head) and the head submitted for examination for evidence of rabies.
2. It is the duty of every physician, veterinarian or other practitioner to report to the animal control officer the names and addresses of persons treated for bites inflicted by animals, together with such other information as will be helpful in rabies control.
3. It is the duty of every licensed veterinarian to report to the animal control officer his diagnosis of any animal observed by him to be a rabid suspect.

SECTION 4-703 SECURING SUPPORT INFORMATION ON DIAGNOSED ANIMALS.

When an animal under quarantine has been diagnosed as being rabid or is suspected of having rabies by a licensed veterinarian and dies while under such observation, the animal control officer, veterinarian, the city health officer, or other designated emissary shall immediately send the necessary part of such animal to the State Health Department for pathological examination and shall notify the proper public health officer of any reports of human contact.

Section 4-704 RABIES CRISIS DECLARATION.

When a report gives a suspected or a positive diagnosis of rabies, or when the city, county or state health officials feel that a rabies crisis may be imminent, the health officials may recommend to the city manager city-wide quarantine, and upon the invoking of such quarantine by the city council, by resolution, no animal shall be taken into the streets or permitted to be in the streets, except for short periods of exercise under leash and control of a competent adult. During the quarantine no animal may be taken or removed from the city without written permission of the animal control officer. This declaration must be made by notice in a general circulated newspaper of the community and will last as long as health officials determine the situation requires such action.

Section 4-705 DESTRUCTION OF ANIMALS UNDER CRISIS PERIOD.

1. During the period of rabies quarantine as mentioned, every animal bitten by an animal adjudged to be rabid shall be forthwith destroyed, or at the owner's expense and option, shall be treated for a rabies infection by a licensed veterinarian, or held under six (6) months quarantine by the owner in the same manner as a female in season. The period of quarantine may be extended from time to time.
2. In the event there are additional positive cases of rabies occurring during the period of the quarantine, such period of quarantine may be extended for an additional six (6) months.
3. No person shall kill or cause to be killed any rabid animal, any animal suspected of having been exposed to rabies, or any animal biting or scratching a human, except as herein provided, nor to remove same from the city limits without written permission from the health officer of the city or the animal control officer.
4. The carcass of any dead animal exposed to rabies shall upon demand be surrendered to the animal control officer.
5. The animal control officer shall direct the disposition of any animal found to be infected with rabies.

SECTION 4-706 SURRENDER OF ANIMALS UNDER SUSPECT.

No person shall remove from the city any animal suspected of having been exposed to rabies, or any animal which has bitten a human, except as herein provided. The carcass of any dead animal exposed to rabies shall be surrendered to the animal control officer upon demand, and the animal control officer shall direct disposition of the animal. No person shall refuse to surrender any animal for quarantine or destruction when such demand is lawfully made by the animal control officer.

CHAPTER 8

PENALTIES

Section 4-801 PENALTY.

Any person, firm, or corporation who violates any ordinance or provision of this chapter or who violates, or refuses or neglects to carry out any reasonable order made by the health or other officer pursuant to this chapter, shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as provided in Section 1-108 of this code. The penalties provided for herein shall be in addition to other remedies of the city and aggrieved persons and shall not be construed as exclusive.
