It shall be illegal within the Township of Salisbury for any person or persons to own, possess, harbor, or control any animal or bird which makes any noise continuously and/or incessantly for a period of 10 minutes or makes such noise intermittently for 1/2 hour or more to the disturbance of any person any time of the day or night, regardless of whether the animal or bird is physically situated in or upon private property, said noise being a nuisance; provided that, at the time the animal or bird is making such noise, no person is trespassing or threatening to trespass upon private property in or upon which the animal or bird is situated nor is there any other legitimate cause which justifiably provoked the animal or bird.
[Ord. 06-2013-583, 6/13/2013, § 403]
