It shall be unlawful for any person to own, keep or harbor any dog or cat of a dangerous or ferocious disposition that habitually snaps or manifests a disposition to bite, without the dog or cat being contained in a secure facility as defined in § 98.052. If any vicious or dangerous dog or cat is allowed to run at large, the city police shall have the authority to kill the dog or cat, whenever it appears that the capture of the dog or cat cannot be accomplished without unreasonably endangering persons or property. Upon the submission of a written complaint of two or more affected persons from different households, filed with the City Clerk’s office, that any dog or cat owned by the person named in the complaint is committing injury to persons or property, or is an annoyance, dangerous, offensive or unhealthy, the Mayor may direct the owner, keeper or harborer of the dog or cat to restrain or confine any dog or cat as is provided for in § 98.052.
