(B) It is no defense to a charge under this section that the animal was running at large in violation of law.
(C) No person shall permit the accumulation of animal waste upon his or her own property such that it interferes with the quiet use and enjoyment of adjoining properties. In addition to any other penalties, such condition constitutes a public nuisance.
