STATE OF MICHIGAN DOG LAW OF 1919
Act 339 of 1919 (EXCERPS)
287.270 “Kennel” defined; kennel license; fee; tags; certificate; rules; inspection; exception.Sec. 10.
Any person who keeps or operates a kennel may, in lieu of individual license required under this act, apply to the county treasurer for a kennel license entitling him to keep or operate a kennel.
Proof of vaccination of dogs against rabies shall not be required with the application.
State law as it compares to:
SHIAWASSEE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE
ARTICLE IV
LICENSING AND VACCINATION
Section 3. No dog shall be exempt from the rabies vaccination requirements as herein set forth.
This does seem to contravene state law, as the county requires proof of vaccination before issueing a kennel license.
Section 7. Any person who own, keeps or operates a kennel may, In lieu of individual licenses required under this ordinance and under the laws of the State of Michigan, apply to the Treasurer for a kennel license entitling him/her to own, keep or operate such kennel in accordance with the applicable laws and the fee for same shall be in accordance with the laws of the state or as established by the rules and regulations of licensing fees by the Board of Commissioners.
Section 7. Any person who own, keeps or operates a kennel may, In lieu of individual licenses required under this ordinance and under the laws of the State of Michigan, apply to the Treasurer for a kennel license entitling him/her to own, keep or operate such kennel in accordance with the applicable laws and the fee for same shall be in accordance with the laws of the state or as established by the rules and regulations of licensing fees by the Board of Commissioners.
That seems to agree with state law.
Section 8. Any person owning a kennel shall obtain a kennel license upon commencement of kennel operations from the County Treasurer.
What the hell is that?
That does contravene state law and it even contradicts itself!
