[Adopted 10-7-1999 by the Board of Health]
This article is adopted in order to protect
the health, safety and well-being of persons and property by prohibiting
certain animals within the Borough of Allendale. The Board of Health
of the Borough of Allendale finds and determines that the harboring
of certain animals within the Borough may be offensive to other residents
so as to constitute a public nuisance and may pose a threat to the
safety of its inhabitants and their property.
It shall be unlawful for any person to keep,
maintain, have in his or her possession or under his or her control
or to permit another to keep, maintain or have under his or her control
within the Borough limits of the Borough of Allendale any cattle,
chickens, bees,[1] goats, guinea hens, hogs, horses, ocelots, pigs, (including
potbelly pigs), pigeons, sheep, swine or any other animal that is
deemed to be dangerous to humans. The foregoing enumeration is not
intended to be all-inclusive. The determination of whether or not
an animal is deemed to be dangerous to humans shall be made by either
the Borough's Animal Control Officer or a police officer of the Police
Department.
Any person that keeps, maintains or has in his
or her possession or under his or her control any of the animals set
forth in this article on the effective date hereof shall be permitted
to keep and maintain said animal(s); provided, however, that such
person may not increase the number of or replace such exempt animals.
Any person having such exempt animal shall register such animal with
the Animal Control Officer within 60 days from the effective date
of this article.
This article shall be enforced by the Borough's
Animal Control Officer and/or Police Department.
Any person who violates any provisions of this
article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not
exceeding $1,000 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days,
or both. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day
during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
