(A) Any person who has been pursued or attacked by an allegedly vicious animal or dangerous animal, or anyone on behalf of such person, may make a complaint before the District Court, charging the owner, possessor or custodian of such animal with harboring a dangerous animal or vicious animal. If upon a hearing of the parties and their witnesses, the court finds the person so charged is the owner, possessor or guardian of the animal in question, and that such animal is a vicious animal or dangerous animal as defined in § 91.20, the court shall declare such animal a vicious animal and order the animal humanely euthanized or quarantined, or a dangerous animal and order the owner, possessor or guardian to henceforth keep such dangerous animal securely confined as set forth herein, and impose the penalties set forth in § 91.99.
(B) If a subsequent complaint is filed against the same owner, possessor or guardian for an animal previously determined or found to be a dangerous animal, and the court finds the person so charged is in violation hereof, the court shall order the owner, possessor or guardian of said dangerous animal to immediately remove the animal from the city or order the animal humanely euthanized.
