In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the reference to retaining an animal "in
the animal control unit" is substituted for the former reference to retention
"by the shelter" for consistency within this section.
In subsection (c)(4) of this section, the former reference to a "litter" is
deleted as unnecessary since an individual animal is treated the same
whether or not part of a litter.
