Code:
BGKY C5 5-1.15.a Vicious or Dangerous Animals Animals/Animal Control

Code Description:
It shall be unlawful for any person to keep, own or harbor, or allow to be kept on his/her property, any vicious or dangerous animal, as defined hereinabove, except as follows: 1. Such person shall keep such animal securely confined indoors or in an enclosure securely fenced so that the animal cannot escape therefrom and is secured from entry by young children. Any outdoor pen or structure must have minimum dimensions of five (5’) feet by ten (10’) feet and must have secure sides and a secure top. If it has no concrete, cement or asphalt bottom, the sides must be imbedded into the ground no less than two (2’) feet. The enclosure must also provide protection from the elements for the animal. A vicious or dangerous animal shall be transported to or from the indoors or to a securely enclosed outdoor pen or shelter only if such animal is muzzled and restrained by a suitable chain, leash or other means of appropriate restraint, which chain or leash is not more than six (6’) feet in length and a responsible adult capable of controlling the animal is in physical control of the chain or leash. “Vicious or dangerous animal” shall mean any animal that attacks, bites or physically injures human beings, domestic animals or livestock without adequate provocation. Any animal that without provocation has attacked a human being or other animal shall be presumed vicious or dangerous for purposes of this Chapter. This definition shall not apply to dogs used by law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties. It shall be unlawful for any person to keep, own or harbor, or allow to be kept on his/her property, any vicious or dangerous animal, as defined hereinabove, except as follows. Reggie, a three year old Rottweiler that lives at this address, was running loose and viciously attacked a small dog. The smaller dog was on a lead and the owner could not break her dog free from the Rottweiler. Please use this opportunity to cure the violation to avoid further actions and/or fines.
