The owner of an injured animal is responsible for its veterinary care. Residents are not required to contain injured dogs. Injured birds should be confined. Small animals should be placed in, or covered by, a container and placed on the parkway for pickup. If the dead animal is a stray, there is no charge for collection.
Opossums are gentle, non-aggressive, highly beneficial animals.
They are not a health hazard and pose little threat humans or pets unless cornered and left with no choice but to defend themselves. They help maintain a clean environment by eating carrion and overripe fruit. I think my neighbor's dog is being treated badly. An officer will respond, perform an investigation, and file a report. Assigning personnel and equipment to rescue cats during peak workload periods is not always possible.
