Rabies Control Regulations (N.S. Reg. 42/42).

The body of any animal dying with rabies shall be burned or buried under three feet of earth in an isolated place. The rooms, shed, stable or other place and any article which may have been infected shall be disinfected to the satisfaction of the local Board of Health or the Medical Health Officer. The local Board of Health shall make provision for the immediate treatment of any indigent person or persons who may require anti-rabic treatment by reason of his having been exposed to or bitten by any rabid animal. It shall in addition require the disinfection of all premises which may have been occupied by rabid animals. Animals other than dogs which are rabid or which have been injured or bitten by or have been exposed to another animal which has been declared to be rabid may be destroyed if a local Board of Health or Medical Health Officer so orders.
