  • Any person operating a commercial animal establishment shall keep and maintain the animals and all structures, pens or yards in which the animals are kept in such a manner as to prevent a nuisance or health hazard to humans and to avoid injury to such animals. All cages and holding areas must be properly sanitized so as to keep the animals enclosed therein free of disease. All such caged animals shall be provided with an adequate daily supply of wholesome food and water. All disease-infested animals shall be isolated from healthy animals and treated to prevent the spread of disease or euthanized, and if the owner or keeper fails or refuses to provide such, the supervisor of animal control may remove such animals to the unified government shelter for disposition as provided by this chapter.
