(2) Permit an animal to defecate on public property, including designated off leash dog parks, without immediately cleaning or removing the excrement;
(3) Permit an animal to unreasonably obstruct the use and enjoyment of property held by others in the community by allowing such animal to habitually bark, howl, yelp, bay or make other noise which by loudness or frequency causes a breach of the peace; provided, however, this section shall not apply to the Animal Shelter, veterinarians, and medical laboratories;
