It shall be the duty of the City Council whenever in its opinion the danger to the public safety from rabid dogs and cats is great or imminent, to issue a proclamation ordering all persons owning, keeping, or harboring any dog or cat to muzzle the same, or to confine it for a period of not less than 30 days or more than 90 days from the date of the proclamation, or until the danger is passed. The dogs or cats may be harbored by any good and sufficient means in a house, garage, or yard on the premise wherein the owner may reside. Upon issuing the proclamation it shall be the duty of all persons owning, keeping, or harboring any dog or cat to confine the same as herein provided.
