Sec. 10-3. Animals running at large.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to suffer or permit any hog, bull, ox, heifer, cow or calf, horse, stallion, mare, colt, mule, sheep, goat, jack, or other animal to roam at large either by day or night, and any animal so found shall be impounded. For purposes of this provision, the phrase "to run at large" shall mean to walk or roam without restraint or confinement either by a rider or through some rope, chain, fence, pen, or other enclosure.
(b) The chief of police is hereby authorized to sell any such animal to the highest bidder at the town hall, after three days' notice, unless the owner shall have redeemed it by paying the chief of police the currently required impoundment fee and all expenses of impounding and feeding such animal.
