(A) It is unlawful for the owner of any animal or dog to maintain a public nuisance by permitting any animal or dog to defecate on any property, public or private, not owned or possessed by such owner unless the owner removes such excrements as provided for in this section. Having a right of property in, or the keeping, housing, harboring, maintaining, feeding, or caring for, or having custody of any animal or dog shall be deemed prima facie evidence of ownership of any such animal or dog for the purpose of enforcing this section.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any owner of any animal or dog to walk or permit such animal or dog to be on any property, public or private, not owned or possessed by such owner unless the animal or dog is accompanied by a person who has in his or her possession a device for the removal of excrement and a depository for the transmission of excrement to a receptacle located upon the property owned or possessed by the person.
(C) It shall be unlawful for the owner of any animal or dog to immediately fail to remove excrement left by the animal or dog on property, whether public or private, not owned or possessed by the person. The excrement shall be removed to a proper receptacle located on property owned or possessed by the owner.
(D) No owner of any animal or dog shall allow excrement to accumulate in any yard, pen, or premises in or upon which the animal or dog shall be confined or kept to the extent that the stench becomes offensive to those residing in the vicinity, or results in a health hazard or nuisance. Any accumulation of excrement upon the premises of the owner which becomes offensive to those residing in the vicinity is hereby declared to be a nuisance.
