Upon the Owner or Keeper's <br />conviction of that violation, the animal will be destroyed in a humane manner. <br /> <br />(4) Any violation of this section may be a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of <br />five hundred dollars ($500.00) or imprisonment of not more than thirty (30) <br />days. <br /> <br />(5) All persons owning security dogs as defined by this Ordinance shall register <br />such animals with the Animal Services Director; the Owner or Keeper of any <br />such dog shall place signs or placards on his premises noting "Beware of <br />Dog" or other information noting the presence of security dog(s). <br /> <br />(j) Appeal. Any declaration that an animal is “dangerous” may be appealed as provided <br />in Section 4-53 of this Chapter. <br /> <br />(k) Review of Declaration. Beginning six months after the first annual inspection <br />provided by subsection 4-42(d)(1)(a)ii., an owner may request annually that the <br />Animal Services Director review the declaration.
