Whenever the disease known as rabies is developed in any dog or other animal in the incorporated area in the city, or whenever such dog or other animal is imported into or enters any portion of said incorporated area affected with rabies, the director of public health is authorized to declare a quarantine in a specified area in such incorporated territory which shall include the location where said animal or animals so affected with rabies are found and a sufficient area contiguous thereto to safeguard against the spread of said disease in said areas. Quarantine shall be defined for the purpose of this chapter as meaning the strict confinement, upon the private premises of the owners or an establishment controlled and supervised by a licensed veterinary, under restraint by a chain leash and chain collar or closed cage or paddock, of all animals specified by the quarantine order. The quarantine shall take effect from the date do declared by the director of public health and a notice shall be published at least once in the official newspaper of Monterey County and in any additional publication where it may appear to be in the interests of the public. Forthwith upon the declaration of such quarantine by the director of public health, he shall give notice in writing to the Marina police department and they shall cause to be gathered in and promptly destroyed all dogs which they or any of them may find other than those securely confined in such quarantined area as hereinabove described.
