(A) No person shall use, set, place, maintain or tend any leg-hold trap. The City Manager or his designee shall confiscate any leg-hold trap found in violation of this division and dispose of it as the City Manager deems appropriate.
(B) No person shall use, set, place, maintain or tend any mechanical trap which is designed or used to capture or kill any animal and does not require the presence of a human operator to so capture or kill. It is a specific defense to a charge of violating this division that the person had the express permission of the owner of the land on which the trap was set. This division does not apply to public officials in the exercise of their duties.
