  1. No person shall keep any animal, other than domestic dogs or cats, within the city limits without a permit from the city health officer. The health officer shall issue such a permit only when in his sound judgment the keeping of such animals will not injuriously affect the public health or cause a nuisance.
  2. When animals are kept within the city, the pen or other enclosure in which they are kept shall at all times be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition.
  3. No animal of any kind shall be kept or confined in any place where the food, water, shelter, or ventilation is not adequate and sufficient for the preservation of its health and safe condition.
  4. No animal shall be kept in such a place or condition so as to become a nuisance, either because of noise, odor, contagious disease or other reason.
  5. No person shall unnecessarily beat or otherwise abuse or injure any animal. (1996 Code, § 3-104)
