  • It shall be unlawful to harbor, keep or maintain any wild or exotic animals within the city limits including, but not limited to, poisonous reptiles, bats, skunks, coyotes, foxes, wolves, alligators, lions, tigers, leopards, and monkeys. Further, the chief of police, or his designated representative within the police department, may declare any species of animal not listed in this section as "prohibited" if the confinement of the animal within the city can be shown to constitute a threat to the public health and safety. The city council, however, may grant exceptions from time to time, such as for special events.
