Any fierce dog running at large in the streets or public places of the Village or upon private premises of any other person not the owner or keeper, shall be taken up and impounded in the manner provided by this Chapter for the impounding of dogs; provided, however, that if a fierce dog found at large cannot be safely taken up and impounded, that dog may be slain by any Village police officer.
B. Any dog or other animal which may continually disturb the quiet of any person's or neighborhood's property, or shall destroy or in any manner injure any animal, plant, shrub, or other property not on the premises of its owner or keeper, is declared to be a nuisance.
C. Any pen, stable or place in which animals are housed or kept which is unreasonably offensive to persons residing in the vicinity of the same or to persons passing along any street or alley near the same, due to associated debris or odors, or which constitute a hazard to the health of persons residing nearby, is declared to be a nuisance.
D. Any dog or other animal which is a nuisance, and any fierce dog, shall be taken up and impounded and may be redeemed or disposed of in a manner provided for under Section 4-1-8 of this Chapter; except, any fierce dog which has bitten more than one person shall be humanely destroyed.
