Should any animal attack or bite a person or another animal, after the owner or harborer of such animal has been notified that the animal has been declared vicious, dangerous or nuisance, such animal shall be impounded, held for observation and shall not be returned to its owner until the animal control officer can be assured that the insecurity which allowed the animal to go free has been remedied and will remain so. If any declared vicious animal is found at large and cannot be safely taken up and impounded, such animal may be summarily destroyed by any law enforcement officer or animal control officer. Failure to maintain security for vicious, dangerous or nuisance animals shall constitute a violation of this chapter. (Ord. 197, 1-8-2013)
