§ 6-228. Disposition by court order.

Latest version.

If a complaint has been filed in the municipal court of the city against the owner of an impounded animal for a violation of this article, the municipal judge may, upon making a finding that such animal is vicious or that it represents a clear and continuous danger to the citizens or other animals in the community, order said animal to be destroyed in a humane manner. In the event such an order is issued by the municipal judge, the animal's owner shall be responsible for and shall pay all costs for destruction of such animal. Surrender of an animal by the owner thereof to a code enforcement officer does not render the owner immune from the decision of the municipal court nor to the fees and sentence which may result from violation of this article.
