[Adopted 5-14-1987; amended 5-11-1995]
No owner or keeper of any dog, whether licensed or unlicensed, shall
allow such dog to roam at large upon the land of another and not under control
by leash or similar restraint of the owner or keeper or agent of such owner
or keeper, provided that nothing in this section shall be construed to limit
or prohibit the legal use of hunting dogs during the open hunting or training
season. The unauthorized presence of any dog on the land of any person other
than the owner or keeper of such dogs or any portion of a public highway,
street or sidewalk or any other city property when not under control, by leash
or similar restraint, of the owner or keeper shall be prima facie evidence
of a violation of the provisions of this section. Any person who violates
this section shall pay a fine of $25 for the first offense, $50 for the second
offense, and for any subsequent offense, the same shall be a misdemeanor in
violation of C.G.S., § 22-364, Dogs roaming at large, and a court
appearance would be required.
A.
It shall be unlawful for any owner, keeper or walker
of any dog or cat or rider of any horse to permit his or her animal to discharge
its excreta upon any public or private property, other than the property of
the owner of the animal, within the city if such owner, keeper, rider or walker
does not immediately thereafter remove and clean up such animal's excreta
from the public or private property.
B.
Any owner, keeper, walker or rider violating this section
shall be fined $50 for each particular incident.
