GENERAL ANIMAL REGULATIONS
For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
ANIMAL. Any of the lower animals as distinguished from, and not including humans, belonging to the animal kingdom of living beings, typically differing from plants and including mammals, fowl, reptiles, and fish.
DANGEROUS ANIMAL. Any animal generally thought of as “wild” and capable of inflicting injury (such as cougars and boa constrictors, whether owned as pets or not) and including animals, which are not dangerous under normal conditions but could become so under abnormal conditions (for example, a rabid dog or unconfined bull).
KEEPER. Any person, firm, or association having the custody of or authority to control the animal.
LIVESTOCK. Horses, mules, jackasses, burros, cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys, swine, and any fur-bearing or wool-producing animal bred and maintained, commercially or otherwise, within pens, cages, and hutches.
OWNER. Owning, keeping, or harboring an animal.
OWNER OF PROPERTY. Any person who has legal or equitable interest in real property or who has a possessory interest therein or who resides on the property or is a guest of any person who owns, rents, or leases said property.
POULTRY. Domestic fowl, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, or other fowl raised for meat or eggs.
RUNNING AT LARGE.
(1) An animal is considered to be RUNNING AT LARGE when it is not on the premises of the owner or keeper, and is not restrained by a rope, line, leash, chain, or other similar means.
(2) An animal will be considered RUNNING AT LARGE if it is free upon a road, street, highway, sidewalk, shared access way, common area, parking area, parking lot, or other area open to physical access by the public.
WILD ANIMAL. Any animal which normally lives in a state of nature and is not ordinarily tame or domesticated and usually not amenable to human habitats.
