Bay County Tightens Stray Animal Trapping Rules | Panama City Beach News

Bay County just rolled out strict new trapping rules to protect strays—traps can only be set between 7 PM and 7 AM, and animals must have food, water, and shade. Commissioner Clair Pease says the goal is to curb the stray population, reduce recaptures of fixed/tagged animals, and boost live release rates. First-time violators face a $2,500 fine, while the county also expands foster and volunteer programs to find homes for more animals.
