reasonable ventilation, drainage, temperature, and lighting 6 If the <br /> confinement area is outside, a shaded area must be provided during <br /> the summer months (May to October)." <br /> b. Food and water <br /> The animal must be provided with enough food and water and of a <br /> reasonable quality so as to allow for the normal growth (nonadult/ not <br /> fully grown animal) or maintenance of the animal's body weight 67 <br /> c. Exercise <br /> Any confined animal must be periodically exercised 68 <br /> d. Confinement of animals other than a cat or dog <br /> If the municipality seizes and confines a pet bird, rodent, or other <br /> animal (not including farm animals), the foregoing generally applies. <br /> However, Minnesota statutes have modified the care requirements for <br /> these types of animals6 <br /> 3. Records <br /> A municipality that has custody of animal has a duty to maintain and make <br /> available to the public certain records for at least six months after the capture <br /> of the animal. Those records must include the following: the description of <br /> the animal by species, breed, sex, approximate age, and other distinguishing <br /> traits; the location at which the animal was captured; the date of capture; the <br /> name and address of the owner; and the name and address of the person who <br /> adopts or takes ownership of any animal over which the municipality has <br /> custody." If the owner of the captured animal is unknown, the city must post a <br /> notice containing a description of the dog for ten days as well as the date of <br /> the hearing on which the disposition of the animal will be considered.'' <br /> C. Animal disposition <br /> A municipality, generally has the authority to dispose of an animal within its <br /> custody." Several statutes address the amount of time a municipality must hold an <br /> animal before disposing of it whether by sale, adoption, or destruction." The times <br /> varies depending on the reason for the capture or the classification of the animal; so <br /> that, the standard stray animal may be destroyed if the animal is not claimed within <br /> five days, a dangerous dog within seven days, and a cruelly- treated animal within ten <br /> days. Prior to disposal of the animal, however, the municipality should: 1) wait at <br /> least ten days; and 2) give notice and an opportunity to be heard to the owner. <br /> Although many municipalities do not wish to keep animals this length of time because <br /> of costs, for ease and simplicity ten days meets all statutory requirements and has been <br /> upheld by a court as a sufficient amount of time.' Furthermore, the municipality, <br /> under its ordinance, may simply assess the fees for maintenance of the dog over the <br /> c(rc wID,g/m11oRL\YM'UTr.soor A AMLco-no C.pngM Lap. .LM. c.oa Goo O 19fi <br /> 65 <br />
