第37节-校园动物

37.1介绍

The University recognizes that wild animals may frequent or select the Malibu campus grounds as their habitat, and that owners of domestic animals may occasionally bring their pets to certain public areas of the Malibu campus. This policy is intended to protect the Pepperdine community from hazards associated with or caused by wild and domestic animals, and to optimize the safety and health of faculty, staff, students, and visitors.

Exceptions may be made to this policy on a case-by-case basis as required by 华体会体育 law. This policy does not apply to animals related to instructional and/or research activity. 违反这一政策可能导致纪律处分。

37.2定义

以下定义适用于本政策：

野生动物是指生活在自然栖息地的非驯养动物。
Pets are animals sufficiently tame to live with a family and are kept and cared for as companions.
Service animals are animals that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, and alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, among others. Service animals are working animals, not pets.

All pets must be controlled by a leash, tether, or harness that does not exceed six feet in length. Pets may not be tethered to a tree or structure or left unattended for any period of time. Unless otherwise permitted, pets are prohibited from all outdoor University events. Owners must immediately clean up after their animals and ensure the animals' behavior does not cause a nuisance or harm to individuals or University property. Owners are responsible for any damage or injury caused by their pets, as well as appropriately caring for their pets. The University is not liable for harm to pets while on campus. Any pet brought to public outdoor areas of the Malibu campus must be licensed and inoculated in accordance with Los Angeles County regulations, with the burden of proof on the owner.

Pets are not allowed at any other campus locations, including graduate campuses, the Washington, D.C. campus, or any international campuses. Additional animal policies are determined by the building lease agreement.
