§ 92.16 CERTAIN MALE DOGS TO BE NEUTERED.

A male dog which bites a human must be neutered upon completion of the quarantine requirement, unless the animal owner can demonstrate that neutering the animal will significantly decrease its value for show. This neutering is to be at the expense of the animal owner. If the owner or person in whose custody the animal resides refuses to neuter the dog, the Animal Control Officer will declare the keeping of the dog to be a public nuisance and must by written notice direct the owner or person keeping the dog to abate the public nuisance, and if the person fails to do so, the person is guilty of a penal offense. Dogs designated as dangerous and potentially dangerous must be sterilized at the owner’s expense as set forth in this code and M.S. § 347.52.
