It shall be unlawful for any owner to permit a domestic animal to be at large. Any domestic animals found to be at large may be confiscated, impounded and held in the Wayne County Animal Shelter. Provided, however, if such domestic animal shows any symptoms or vicious nature as to make it reasonably appear that such domestic animal at the time constitutes a menace to the safety of the one seeking to capture it or any other person, then any law enforcement officer may shoot, or otherwise kill the same on the spot, in as humane a manner as practical and with due regard to the safety of others.
