The owners of such unfenced land shall not be entitled to damages caused by stock straying onto such above mentioned land.

(Ord. 84-1, 1984; Ord. 97-6 § 4, 1997)

If livestock cause or occasion damage by breaking through a lawful fence, the owner and person entitled to possession of the livestock shall be responsible for such damage.

The Animal Control Officer shall be charged with the enforcement of this chapter. Upon receipt of notice that livestock have strayed onto lands not heretofore designated as grazing lands by Section 7.40.010, the Animal Control Officer shall give written notice to the designated person or owner. The owner or person in control of such animals shall have three days from the date of the notice to remove such livestock; if such livestock are not removed within such three-day period, then the Animal Control Officer shall pick up and detain such animals and charge the owner the cost of such services in accordance with law. Such animals shall not be released until such charges have been paid in full.
