The owner or person in charge of any animal
or fowl that shall die by accident or disease shall forthwith cause
the carcass of the animal or fowl to be disposed of within 24 hours
in a manner that is not prejudicial to the health and well-being of
the community. If the dead animal was known or suspected to have been
infected by rabies, the Board of Health shall be notified immediately
and disposal arranged only as directed by the Board or its duly authorized
representative. Disposal of carcasses of animals, the death of which
was by accident or disease other than rabies, may be arranged privately
through veterinarians, animal hospitals or other responsible persons
or services without notification to the Board. Residents of the township
having no other arrangements for proper disposal may and should request
instructions of the Police Department of the township as to the services
of disposal available at such time.
