VILLAGE ADOPTS NEW DANGEROUS ANIMAL ORDINANCE
nullThe Village Board recently approved a new Dangerous Animal Ordinance (Chapter 10, Article II) to replace the existing Dangerous Dog ordinance the Village previously had in place. The new ordinance specifically addresses prohibited dangerous animals. This amendment means that no person may bring into or keep within the village limits, any animal that is determined to be a "prohibited dangerous animal." Additionally, the amendment gives authority to the chief of police or the chief's designee to declare if an animal is dangerous. The new ordinance is similar to one recently adopted by the City of Wausau. The full text of the ordinance can be found online at the above link.
