<div class="chunk-content">
            <p class="p0">
               Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, any animal seized and impounded
               which is badly wounded, diseased (not a rabies suspect), or unweaned and has no identification
               shall be destroyed immediately in a humane manner. If the animal has identification,
               the county animal control section shall attempt to notify the owner or keeper before
               disposing of such animal. If the owner or keeper cannot be reached readily, and the
               animal is suffering, the county animal control shelter may destroy the animal at its
               discretion in a humane manner.
