(A) (1) Whenever the Clay County Board of Health determines that there is danger of the existence or spread of hydrophobia within or near the city, it may issue an order requiring any person owning, possessing or having the care and control of any dog, either to confine or muzzle the animal for a term not less than 30 days, nor more than 60 days, ensuing the date of the order.
(2) Any person subject to the order shall, during the period of time specified therein, confine the animal so as to prevent it from biting any other animal or being bitten thereby, or shall securely and effectively muzzle it in a manner so as to make it impossible for it to bite any person or any other animal.
(3) No muzzle is lawful unless it is of a form, material and strength, and so attached and fastened, as to effectively prevent the animal from biting, and any dog which is found running at large within the city without a muzzle during the time specified in the order is declared to be a nuisance.
(B) The order of the Clay County Board of Health, as provided for herein, shall be published in 1 issue of a daily newspaper published in the city, or a printed copy thereof shall be posted in at least 3 public places in the city.
