[Adopted 8-27-2002 by Ord. No. 956-A-02; amended in its entirety 11-20-2007 by Ord. No. 46-07]
No person or persons shall give, place, expose,
deposit, distribute or scatter any edible material with the intention
of feeding, attracting, or enticing wild animals, specifically including,
but not limited to, rodents of any kind, or any stray domestic animals
in the Township of Brick on property either publicly or privately
owned.
A.
This article shall not be construed to prohibit humane
acts toward wild animals and/or stray domestic animals in individual
cases, such as the temporary nurturing of a wounded bird or a wild
animal and/or stray domestic animal on one's own premises.
B.
Nothing contained herein shall prohibit persons from
feeding by throwing or scattering small quantities of food directly
to birds or certain small wild animals nor prohibit persons from feeding
certain wild animals and birds on their private property by leaving
food for such animals in a manner commonly or ordinarily used for
the feeding of these wild animals and birds, such as bird feeders
or other receptacles. This exception does not permit the feeding of
rodents, including, but not limited to, squirrels as the ground feeding
of such animals is prohibited by the Ocean County Board of Health's
public health nuisance regulations pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:3-64.
