(A) Purpose and intent.
(1) It is the purpose and intent of this section to provide for the regulation of roaming livestock in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of motor vehicle drivers and property owners. The increasing prevalence of roaming livestock within the town requires local regulation in order to protect the public safety.
(2) The state has granted municipalities the authority to prohibit the roaming of animals within the town. Therefore, the Mayor and Council find it is in the public interest to prohibit the roaming of livestock within the town pursuant to this section.
(B) Roaming at large of livestock prohibited.
(1) It shall be unlawful for any person to keep, or cause to be kept, any horses, mules, cattle, burros, goats, sheep or other livestock or fowl within the town, unless the person shall keep the livestock or fowl in a pen or similar enclosure to prevent their roaming at-large.
(2) No horse, cow, sheep, goat, burro, mule or other livestock so kept shall be allowed within 100 feet of any occupied residential dwelling other than that of the owner.
