No person shall keep or maintain any live animal in a cage, coop, hutch, pen, yard or space which is less than three times as large in floor space as the total size of all live animals which may be kept therein, and which is not of sufficient height to permit each animal to stand in a natural erect position. This section shall not apply to the Animal Shelter nor shall it preclude a veterinarian, any person engaged in showing animals, or any animal groomer from temporarily confining an animal in a container which does not satisfy the minimum requirements of this section, for medical, showing or grooming purposes.
