Résumé

The Act establishes that any person may kill a dog, that is found killing or injuring livestock or poultry; or that is found straying at any time, and not under proper control, upon premises where livestock or poultry are habitually kept. where a dog kills or injures livestock or poultry, the local municipality in which the killing or injury occurred is liable to the owner of the livestock or poultry for the amount of damages that is determined by valuers of livestock and poultry appointed by the Municipality. The liability of the Municipality can be denied by the valuer under specific circumstances. A local municipality having paid to the owner of livestock or poultry is entitled to recover the amount so paid from the owner of the dog that did the damage in any court of competent jurisdiction without proving that it was vicious or accustomed to worry livestock or poultry. The owner of a dog who has knowledge that the dog has killed or injured livestock or poultry shall destroy the dog or cause the dog to be destroyed within forty-eight hours after acquiring such knowledge. Where in territory without municipal organization livestock or poultry are killed or injured by a dog, the owner of the dog is liable to the owner of the livestock or poultry for the amount of the damage, and it is not necessary in an action to recover the amount of such damage to prove that the dog was vicious or accustomed to worry livestock or poultry.
