II. Be it further ordained that Section 2.55.06 shall be renamed “Vicious Animals and Potentially Dangerous Dogs” and shall be amended to read as follows:
2.55.06.01 Vicious Animals
Any Animal which has killed a person (other than such animal trained by law enforcement agencies who did so in the course of duty under the supervision of a law enforcement officer), or caused serious bodily injury as defined in N.J.S.A. 2C:11-1(b), or has engaged in same animal fighting for recreational purposes. However, an animal that has killed or seriously injured a person because it was provoked into an action inconsistent with its normal behavior shall not be declared vicious. Any Animal other than a dog or cat that habitually attacks other domestic animals shall be deemed to be a Vicious animal for the purposes of this Chapter.
2.55.06.02 Complaints and Investigation.
It shall be the duty of the Animal Control Officer to receive and investigate complaints against Vicious Animals and Potentially Dangerous Dogs. If he reasonably believe any Animal complained of to have rabies or to be a Vicious Animal, Vicious Dog or Potentially Dangerous Dog, he shall report his findings in writing to a Municipal Judge and issue and file a summons therefor.
A. The Animal Control Officer shall notify the Municipal Judge and the County Board of Health immediately that he/she has seized and impounded an Animal pursuant to this article, or that he/she has reasonable cause to believe that an Animal has killed another domestic animal and that a hearing is required. The Animal Control Officer shall through a reasonable effort attempt to determine the identity of the owner of any domestic Animal seized and impounded pursuant to this article. If its owner cannot be identified within seven days, that Animal may be humanely destroyed, unless it is a protected or endangered species as recognized by federal or state law.
B.. The Animal Control Officer shall, within three working days of the determination of the identity of the owner of an Animal seized and impounded pursuant to this article, notify by certified mail, return receipt requested, the owner concerning the seizure and impoundment and that, if the owner wishes, a hearing will be held to determine whether the impounded Animal is a Vicious Animal or a Potentially Dangerous Dog. This notice shall also require that the owner return within seven days, by certified mail or hand delivery, a signed statement indicating whether he/she wishes the hearing to be conducted or, if not, to relinquish ownership of the Animal, in which case the Animal may be humanely destroyed. If the owner cannot be notified by certified mail, return receipt requested, or refuses to sign for the certified letter, or does not reply to the certified letter with a signed statement within seven days of receipt, the Animal may be humanely destroyed, unless it is a protected or endangered species as recognized by federal or state law.
2.55.06.03 Rabid Animals
A. All Animals, other than a protected or endangered species as recognized by federal or state law, noticeably infected with rabies and displaying vicious propensities may be killed by the Animal Control Officer or other authorized persons, without notice to the owner. The owner shall be notified of such killing within three days as to the reason for the killing. In the event the Animal is a protected or endangered species, the State Department of Environmental Protection shall be notified immediately for directions as to disposition.
B. If an Animal is believed to have rabies or has been bitten by an Animal suspected of having rabies, such Animal, if it is a domesticated Animal, shall be confined by a leash or chain on the owners premises and shall be placed under the observation of a veterinarian at the expense of the Owner for a period of two weeks.
C. It shall be unlawful for any person knowing or suspecting that a domesticated Animal has rabies to allow such Animal to be taken off his premises or beyond the limits of the Borough without the written permission of the Animal Control Officer or any other authorized persons. Every owner, or other person, upon ascertaining a domesticated Animal rabid, shall immediately notify the Animal Control Officer, a policeman or any other authorized persons, who shall either remove the Animal to a secure keeping facility or summarily destroy it.
2.55.06.04 Keeping of Vicious Animals
No Animal that has been determined to be a Vicious Animal shall be permitted to be upon any street or public place in the Borough except while securely muzzled and under a leash of not more than six (6) feet in length, and the owner or person harboring any such Vicious Animal who permits it to run at large upon any street or public place in the Borough while not securely muzzled and under a leash of not more than six (6) feet in length shall be guilty of a violation of this article.
2.55.06.05 Procedures for Vicious Animals or Potentially Dangerous Dogs
A. Notice; hearing. The Municipal Judge shall notify in writing the owner or keeper of an allegedly Vicious Animal or Potentially Dangerous Dog that a complaint has been made and require the person to appear before him at a stated time and place for a hearing.
B. Findings to declare an Animal Vicious; grounds.
1. The Municipal Judge shall declare the Animal a Vicious Animal if it finds by clear and convincing evidence that the Animal:

(b) Has engaged in recreational fighting activities as described in N.J.S.A. 4:22-24 and N.J.S.A. 4:22-26, regardless of whether or not the Animal is a Dog or other species.
2. A domestic Animal shall not be declared vicious for inflicting death or serious bodily injury as defined in N.J.S.A. 2C:11-1(b) upon a person if the Animal was provoked. The municipality shall bear the burden of proof to demonstrate that the Animal was not provoked.
3. If the Municipal Court declares the Animal to be Vicious, and no appeal is made of this ruling pursuant to N.J.S.A. 4:19-25, the Animal shall be destroyed in a humane and expeditious manner, except that no Animal may be destroyed during the pendency of an appeal. During the pendency of the Appeal, the Animal is to be kept in accordance with the regulations set forth in Section 2.55.06.04 hereinabove.
C. Findings to declare a Dog a Potentially Dangerous Dog; grounds.
1. The Municipal Judge shall declare a Dog to be Potentially Dangerous if it finds by clear and convincing evidence that the Dog:
(a). Caused bodily injury as defined in N.J.S.A. 2C:11-1(a) to a person during an unprovoked attack, and poses a serious threat of bodily injury or death to a person; or
(b). Killed another domestic animal; and

(b). Killing a domestic animal if the domestic animal was the aggressor. For the purposes of this subsection, the Borough shall bear the burden of proof to demonstrate that the Dog was not provoked.
D. Order and Schedule for Compliance for Potentially Dangerous Dog.
If the Municipal Judge declares the Dog to be Potentially Dangerous, he shall issue an order and a schedule for compliance which, in part:
1. Shall require the owner to comply with the following conditions:
(a). To apply, at his own expense, to the Municipal Clerk or other official designated to license Dogs pursuant to N.J.S.A. 4:19-15.2, for a special municipal Potentially Dangerous Dog license, municipal registration number, and red identification tag. The owner shall, at his own expense, have the registration number tattooed upon the dog in a prominent location. A Potentially Dangerous Dog shall be impounded until the owner obtains a municipal Potentially Dangerous Dog license, municipal registration number, and red identification tag.
(b). To display, in a conspicuous manner, a sign on his premises warning that a Potentially Dangerous Dog is on the premises. The sign shall be visible and legible from 50 feet of the enclosure required pursuant to subsection 2.55.06.06.D.1.(c), below.
(c). To immediately erect and maintain an enclosure for the Potentially Dangerous Dog on the property where the Potentially Dangerous Dog will be kept and maintained, which has sound sides, top and bottom to prevent the Potentially Dangerous Dog from escaping by climbing, jumping or digging and within a fence of at least six feet in height separated by at least three feet from the confined area. The owner of a Potentially Dangerous Dog shall securely lock the enclosure to prevent the entry of the general public and to preclude any release or escape of a Potentially Dangerous Dog by an unknowing child or other person. All Potentially Dangerous Dogs shall be confined in the enclosure or, if taken out of the enclosure, securely muzzled and restrained with a tether approved by the Animal Control Officer and having a minimum tensile strength sufficiently in excess of that required to restrict the Potentially Dangerous Dog's movements to a radius of no more than three feet from the owner and under the direct supervision of the owner.
2. May require the owner to maintain liability insurance in an amount determined by the Municipal Court to cover any damage or injury caused by the Potentially Dangerous Dog. The liability insurance, which may be separate from any other homeowner policy, shall contain a provision requiring the Borough to be named as an additional insured for the sole purpose of being notified by the insurance company of any cancellation, termination or expiration of the liability insurance policy.
2.55.06.06 Duties of Owner of Potentially Dangerous Dog.
A. Comply with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 4:19-17 et seq. in accordance with a schedule established by the Municipal Court but in no case more than 60 days subsequent to the date of determination;

D. Prior to selling or donating the Dog, inform the prospective owner that the Dog has been declared Potentially Dangerous;
E. Upon the sale or donation of the Dog to a person residing in a different municipality, notify the Department and the licensing authority, Police Department or force, and Animal Control Officer of that municipality of the transfer of ownership and the name, address and telephone of the new owner; and

2.55.06.07 Liability of Owner for Costs of Impoundment and Destruction.
If a domesticated Animal is declared Vicious or a Potentially Dangerous Dog, and all appeals pertaining thereto have been exhausted, the owner of the Animal shall be liable to the Borough for the costs and expenses of impounding and destroying the Animal. The owner shall incur the expense of impounding the Animal in a facility other than the municipal pound, regardless of whether the Animal is ultimately found to be vicious or a Potentially Dangerous Dog.
If the Animal has bitten or exposed a person within 10 days previous to the time of euthanasia, its head shall be transported to the New Jersey State Department of Health laboratory for rabies testing.
2.55.06.08 Violations and Penalties.
The owner of a Potentially Dangerous Dog which is found by clear and convincing evidence to have violated Section 2.55.06, or to have failed to comply with a court’s order shall be subject to a fine of not more than $1,000 per day of the violation, and each day’s continuance of the violation shall constitute a separate and distinct violation. The Municipal Court shall have jurisdiction to enforce this Section. An Animal Control Officer is authorized to seize and impound any Potentially Dangerous Dog whose owner fails to comply with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 4:19-17, et seq., or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, or a court’s order. The Municipal Court may order that the dog so seized and impounded be destroyed in an expeditious and humane manner.
2.55.06.09 Potentially Dangerous Dog Registration Number Tag and License.
The Borough of Englishtown shall:
A. Issue, upon payment of the fee set forth in Section 2.55.06.06.F., a Potentially Dangerous Dog registration number and red identification tag along with a Municipal Potentially Dangerous dog license upon a demonstration of sufficient evidence by the owner to the Animal Control Officer that he has complied with the court's orders. The last three digits of each Potentially Dangerous Dog registration number issued by the Borough will be the three number code assigned to the Borough in the regulations promulgated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 4:19-33. The Animal Control Officer shall verify, in writing, compliance to the Municipal Clerk or other official designated to license dogs in the municipality.
