A new animal control law was passed on Friday in Hernando County, a
suburb of Tampa, Fla., that allows animal control officers to enter
private property without a warrant in pursuit of stray animals. It
also has provisions that allow dogs and other animals to be shot to
death on site by Animal Services officers.

According to the new ordinance, "If an Animal Control Authority agent
personally witness an animal at large, the agent shall have the
authority to enter upon private property in pursuit of the animal,"
without the owner's permission or a warrant.
