§ 9.11.170. Failure to comply with order.  


Latest version.
  • Failure of the owner or keeper of the animal to take any action required of him or her by the order of the poundmaster within the applicable time limit specified in the order is a misdemeanor/infraction; provided, however, that humane destruction of the animal within such time limit shall be deemed compliance with the order regardless of the abatement action specified in the order. Each day or portion thereof that such noncompliance continues after such time limit is a separate offense. The poundmaster may seize and summarily destroy any animal being kept or maintained in violation of such order of the poundmaster.
