l
Due to a previous animal control enforcement matter, related to monkeys, council directed a
review and clarification of the City's animal control ordinances related to non - domesticated
animals. Upon review, and discussion with other staff from Community Development, Planning,
and the Police Chief it became apparent that the animal control sections in general required a
general update. Sections 7 -4 -A, 7 -4 -B, 7 -4 -C, of City Code and section 3.2: of the Zoning Code
have been extensively rewritten. In this proposed revision, the animal control portion of the
Zoning Code has been moved to City Code to facilitate enforcement action by reducing the
council appeal and variance process and moving directly to court action to resolve issues of
animal control, if necessary. The last revisions to the animal control ordinances appear to have
been in the early 70's and mid 80's. There have been dramatic changes to State Statute,
Minnesota State Rules, terminology, and Judicial Guidelines since the last updates of these
ordinances. Direction related to the keeping of non - domesticated animals has been sought from
animal control, public health, and other agencies.

For discussion only.

Subd. 2 (XE "Animals:Biting" )Biting Animals. Any animal that has not been

officer to voluntarily and immediately confine the animal for the required period of time
in a veterinary hospital of the owner's choosing, not outside of the County in which this
city is located, and provide immediate proof of such confinement in such manner as may
be required, the owner may do so. If, however, the animal has been inoculated with a

owner's property.
Subd. 3 (XE "Animals:Reclaiming ")Reclaiming. All animals conveyed to the pound

specified in.§ 100. 11, and except if the animal is a cruelly- treated animal in which case it

MVMA Recommends Against the Keeping
of Wild and Exotic Animals
Since ancient times man has had a fear of being bitten by
a "mad" dog. The dog and cat have been domesticated
for thousands of years and their close relationship to man
accounts for the continued fear of people contracting
rabies from these animals. However, there are many
other species that should be of greater concern to the
animal lover.
With the advent of effective rabies vaccines for the
immunization of dogs, cats, ferrets, sheep, cattle and
horses, the number of reported rabies cases in these
animals has been greatly reduced. There is no federally
licensed or approved rabies vaccine for use in any other
animal species.
Veterinarians -or any other person who injects any species
other than those listed with a rabies vaccine are acting
contrary to the recommendations prepared by the
National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians,
I nc.
This brings us to the main part of our discussion: Wild
and Exotic Animals As Pets. To repeat, there is no
