[Adopted 4-9-1975 by Ord. No. 75-17]
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any person owning or having a right of property to a dog,
licensed or unlicensed, or any person having the control and custody
of a dog, and the parents of any child under the age of 18 years who
owns or has the control and custody of a dog, licensed or unlicensed.
It shall be unlawful for any owner of a dog,
licensed or unlicensed, to cause or allow such dog to defecate upon
any street, sidewalk, passageway, park, or any other public place
where people congregate or walk, unless such owner shall immediately
remove and dispose of in a sanitary manner all feces deposited by
such dog.
It shall be unlawful for the owner of any dog,
licensed or unlicensed, to cause or allow such dog to defecate upon
any private property of another without the permission of the owner
of said property.
At the trial of any charge of violating this
article, if a dog has defecated upon public or private property as
hereinbefore set forth, it shall be conclusively presumed that the
owner of any such dog has caused or allowed the occurrence to have
happened.
Any person violating any of the provisions of
this article shall, upon conviction, pay a fine of not less than $10
nor more than $25 for each offense, to be collected as fines and penalties
are now by law collectible.
