(A) Every fierce, dangerous or vicious dog, including a animal that has a history of biting a human, shall be confined by the owner within a building or secure enclosure. The animal shall not be taken out of the building or secure enclosure unless securely muzzled. Upon a violation of this section, in addition to the fine authorized by this subchapter, the court may order the animal destroyed and direct the owner to refrain from possessing or owning other animals for a period not to exceed 3 years.
(B) Every female animal while in heat shall be kept confined in a building or secure enclosure by the owner in such a manner that she will not be in contact (except for intentional breeding purposes) with another animal and not create a nuisance by attracting other animals.
(C) It shall be unlawful for anyone to own or harbor a public nuisance animal as herein before defined. Notwithstanding the afore going provisions, the barking of hunting dogs in pursuit of game shall not be considered a disturbance of the public peace for the purpose hereof.
