Domestic animal breaking into enclosure
Sec. 2. (a) This subsection applies in a township for which the
board of county commissioners has adopted an ordinance that allows
domestic animals to run at large in unenclosed public areas. If a
domestic animal breaks into an enclosure or enters upon the property
of another person that is enclosed by a lawful fence, the person
injured by the actions of the domestic animal may recover the
amount of damage done.
(b) This subsection applies in a township for which the board of
county commissioners has not adopted an ordinance that allows
domestic animals to run at large in unenclosed public areas. If a
domestic animal breaks into an enclosure or enters upon the property
of another person, it is not necessary for the person injured by the
actions of the domestic animal to allege or prove the existence of a
lawful fence to recover for the damage done.
