The purpose of this article is to prohibit the
keeping, maintaining, breeding or harboring of fur-bearing animals,
as the same are commonly known or understood and defined herein, in

the intent of this article to protect and promote the public health
and welfare of the community by eliminating from the unincorporated
area the keeping of fur-bearing animals, "fur-bearing animals" being
defined as mink, rabbits, skunks, foxes or kindred animals of this
nature.
It shall be unlawful for any person to suffer,

animals, as the same are defined in this article, and to keep, harbor,
maintain, feed or breed the same anywhere within the unincorporated
area of the Town of Cortlandt.
[Amended 8-17-1993 by L.L. No. 2-1993]
Any person who suffers, permits, harbors, breeds
or keeps in his possession fur-bearing animals in the unincorporated
area of the Town of Cortlandt is subject to having the same impounded
and sold, pursuant to § 130, Subdivision 9, of the Town
Law, and the Constables of the Town of Cortlandt are hereby authorized
to impound, pursuant to order of one of the Justices of Peace of the
Town of Cortlandt, and sell the same, pursuant to law, and from the
proceeds of such sale to deduct the costs of keeping said animals
and the costs and disbursements of conducting such sale.
[Amended 8-17-1993 by L.L. No. 2-1993]
A violation of this article is hereby declared
to be a violation. Any person violating said article shall be guilty
