A. If, by a preponderance of the evidence, a court of competent jurisdiction finds that, while running at large or while inadequately restrained in violation of KIBC 6.04.100(A), a dog or other animal has, without provocation, bitten or attacked a person, the court may order the dog or other animal destroyed.

B. In addition to any fine which may have been imposed pursuant to KIBC 6.04.270(A), a court of competent jurisdiction may require the owner or custodian of any dog or other animal which, while running at large or while inadequately restrained in violation of KIBC 6.04.100(A), has damaged the person or property of another to make restitution, in whole or in part, for said damage.

C. Any actions taken or orders rendered under this section shall be regarded as measures necessary to the preservation of the health, safety, and welfare of the public and not as punishment. [Ord. 86-16-O(A) §2. Formerly §6.04.220].
