Under "dogs and other animals" in our town code it says this:
Section 66-3 MAINTENANCE OF PENS AND KENNELS.
A. Pens, stables, coops, kennels and yards for any animals or fowl located in the town shall be kept in a sanitary condition at all times by the owner or person in charge thereof and shall be subject to inspection by the Health Officer, who shall be authorized to go upon the property in question to inspect facilities in plain view.
B. Violations of this section shall be punishable as misdemeanors.
Then a little farther down, there's another ordinance that says this:
Section 66-13 PROHIBITION.
Except for duly authorized parades, processions, zoos, circuses, rides, fairs and exhibitions, licensed pet shops, animal shelters and veterinary offices and hospitals, it shall be unlawful to raise, house, or otherwise keep livestock, fowl or exotic animals within the limits of the Town of Front Royal.
I guess I'm just confused as to why there's an ordinance that talks about maintaining coops and mentions fowl if those things aren't allowed within the city limits.
