§ 72-4. Nuisances.

A. 

No person shall keep or harbor any animal in the Township so as to create offensive odors or unsanitary conditions which are a menace to the health or safety of the public.

B. 

It shall be illegal within the Township of Lower Moreland for any person or persons to own, possess, harbor or control any dog or animal which makes any noise continuously and/or incessantly for a period of 15 minutes or makes such noise intermittently for 30 minutes or more to the disturbance of any person any time of the day or night, regardless of whether the animal or dog is physically situated in or upon private property, said noise being a nuisance, provided that at the time the animal or dog is making such noise no person is trespassing or threatening to trespass upon private property in or upon which the animal or dog is situated nor is there any other legitimate cause.

C. 

No person owning, harboring, keeping, walking or in charge of any animal shall cause, suffer, permit or allow said animal to defecate on any common thoroughfare, street, sidewalk, road, play area, park or any place where people congregate or walk upon any public property whatsoever or upon any private property without permission of the owner of that private property unless immediate cleanup and disposal is undertaken. "Proper cleanup and disposal" shall mean that such person shall immediately remove all feces and droppings deposited by such animal, which removal shall be in a sanitary manner by shovel, so as to prevent any noxious odors, attraction of vermin or any other public health nuisance to neighbors. This section shall not apply to or be enforced against blind persons.
