63. A local municipality may impound, sell for profit or eliminate a stray or dangerous animal. It may also have an animal suffering from a contagious disease isolated until cured, or eliminated, on a certificate from a veterinary surgeon.

The municipality may also enter into an agreement to authorize a person to enforce a by-law concerning animals. The person with whom the municipality enters into an agreement and the person’s employees have the powers of employees of the municipality for the purposes of the enforcement of the municipal by-law.

This section applies despite any inconsistent provision of the Agricultural Abuses Act (chapter A-2).
