  1. Reporting. Anyone having knowledge or reason to believe that any animal in the town has bitten a person shall report within twenty-four (24) hours, so far as is known, the name and address of the owner and circumstances of the animal. Such report concerning bites shall be made to the police department.
  2. Control. Whenever any domestic animal has bitten a person, it shall be confined in such place as the police department may direct and for such period of observation as may be necessary, unless such animal is too vicious and dangerous to be impounded safely, in which case it shall be killed and head shipped to the state laboratory for rabies examination.
