Live trapping of animals that does not cause injury to animals is allowed. Hunting with firearms within City limits is prohibited. Written consent of the Police Chief is required to discharge a firearm manufactured for the control of geese or waterfowl even if the firearm is non-lethal and cannot cause death or injury upon any human being or animal.
3.   Special Permits. Special permits by order of the Council may be issued from time to time to allow a special hunting season in the City limits to cull an overpopulated deer herd, or goose population only if the hunting is done with a bow and arrow.
