A pet animal shall not be trapped in any manner that subjects the animal to injury inherent in the mechanism of the trap. A humane box trap may be set on a complainant’s property for the purpose of trapping nuisance pet animals. Animals which are caught in such a trap must be returned to their owners or taken to Animal Services. Injurious confinement or restraint of a pet animal is a misdemeanor. (Ord. 1038 §2, 1996).
