(510 ILCS 70/2.01b)
Sec. 2.01b.
Exigent circumstances.
"Exigent circumstances" means a
licensed veterinarian cannot be secured without undue delay and, in the
opinion of the animal control warden, animal control administrator, Department
of Agriculture investigator, approved humane investigator, or animal shelter
employee, the animal is so severely
injured, diseased, or suffering that it is unfit for any useful purpose and to
delay humane euthanasia would continue to cause the animal extreme suffering.
