Would you believe "a fine in an amount not to exceed $1,000 or imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed six months or both" if that doggie happens to be yours and your dog is identified as a nuisance by an animal control officer. If that dog of yours attacks persons per-sons or animals, be prepared to pay for any damages caused by the attack. at-tack. What constitutes a nuisance? Any dog that: 1. Causes damages to the property proper-ty of anyone other than its owner; 2. Causes unreasonable fouling of the air by odors; 3. Causes unsanitary conditions in enclosures or surroundings; 4. Defecates on any public sidewalk, side-walk, park or building or on any private property, unless the person owning... shall remove any such defecation to a proper trash receptacle; recepta-cle; 5. Barks, whines or howls or makes other disturbing noises in an excessive, continuous or untimely fashion. 6. Molests passersby or chases passing vehicles; 7. Attacks other domestic animals; ani-mals; 8. Is offensive or dangerous to the public welfare or safety. While these prohibitions apply to any animal, the number one culprit ' i flower soft. A land of cities and towns carved out by hard-working, hard-playing people. The kind of people Columbia wr is (logs. Most of the complaints involve in-volve dogs on the loose. A dog may be man's best friend, just do not expect ex-pect your neighbors to agree if you let it loose to roam at will. It is clear what you need to do to act responsible. Keep your dog fenced in, and keep it quiet, especially espe-cially at night. If there is a complaint, com-plaint, the county will investigate and will write you a citation if the incident warrants it. The county's administration of animal an-imal control is presently being reviewed re-viewed by the Commission. One significant change is the fact that the county will no longer share an animal control officer with Vernal City. In the next few months, we will be deciding on a course of action. ac-tion. We will need to hire someone to be an animal control officer. What is unclear is whether or not it will be full-time. In the meantime, sheriff deputies will handle complaints. com-plaints. Clearly when an animal control officer is on board, it is not desirable that the officer be out patrolling pa-trolling for violators. That strikes that Commission as too aggressive, evasive and unnecessary. Rather, the county commission expects the officer offi-cer to respond quickly to com-, plaints. To conduct a thorough investigation in-vestigation and to issue a citation if necessary. They say that good fences make good neighbors. If you keep your dog behind your fence, you will have good neighbors now and in the future. Let us know what you think. jMinyv"1'" '"' "iyT" 3 8 Sr .
