[Adopted 4-3-1974 by L.L. No. 2-1974 as Art. I of Ch. 23 of the 1974 Code]
No person shall permit to run at large any horse, cattle, sheep, swine, fowl or other animal on the roads, streets or highways of the Town or on property of persons other than the owner or owners of said animals or fowl.
All animals, birds and fowl may be apprehended and impounded and sold for costs of keeping, proceedings and penalty in violation of this article on any highway, street or road or premises not owned or occupied by the owner or said animal or fowl.
The owner, custodian or person in charge of any animal, bird or fowl which has been impounded pursuant to any provision of this article shall be subject to the penalty hereinafter prescribed.
A Town Justice who, upon written complaint and after a hearing upon due notice of each owner, custodian or person in charge of any animal, bird or fowl, shall find that noise, damage or injury to property made by such animal, bird or fowl shall be a public nuisance shall direct that such animal, bird or fowl shall be forthwith impounded unless the owner, custodian or person in charge shall give assurance satisfactory to such Town Justice that such nuisance shall be forthwith abated. If such assurance is violated, the animal, bird or fowl shall forthwith be impounded.
[Amended 4-28-1976 by L.L. No. 3-1976]
Any person committing an offense against any provision of this article shall be guilty of a violation punishable by a fine not exceeding $250 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or both such fine and imprisonment. The continuation of an offense against the provisions of this article shall constitute, for each day the offense is continued, a separate and distinct offense hereunder.[1]
