animal responding in the expected manner of protecting a person who is engaged in a lawful activity

WHEREAS the bill provides for district or municipal court determination whether an animal
is dangerous and authorizes the court or magistrate to take appropriate action within guidelines to
protect the public; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4897 specifies that the owner of a dangerous animal that causes the
death of a person is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, punishable under Section 21 of the Michigan
penal code; and

injury other than death, the owner of the animal is guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment
