(a) No person being the owner or in charge or control of any domestic animal shall permit such animal to defecate upon any public land or any private land other than the land where the owner or person in charge of such animal resides without properly removing and disposing of any waste product resulting from said defecation.
(b) The owner or person in charge or control of any domestic animal, which defecates on any such prohibited land, shall immediately clean and properly dispose of the waste product of said defecation by causing the same to be removed to a proper receptacle.
(c) The owner or person in charge of any domestic animal shall keep the property where he resides in a clean and sanitary condition by regularly removing the waste product of the animal’s defecation to prevent accumulations of said waste product.
(d) Because the waste product of the defecation of any domestic animal is hereby declared to be a nuisance, and because the same creates an unsanitary and unhealthful condition, and because accumulations of insects and bacteria may be the result of such an unsanitary and unhealthful condition, and because the same is a violation of the regulations of this section, the failure to immediately and properly clean such waste shall be unlawful.
(e) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor.
