No person shall hunt or trap wildlife at any time within the
Village limits, except with the approval of the Village Manager or
Chief of Public Safety, nor shall any person carrying a firearm or
hunting weapon trespass upon the land of another in the Village without
the landowner's consent. This prohibition shall not apply to the trapping
of rats, mice and moles, and shall not apply to the humane live trapping
of squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, and other wild or domestic animals
which may be causing damage to property or which constitute a nuisance
within a dwelling or building or structure or curtilage within the
Village. The selling for commercial purposes of such animals which
have been trapped or the offering for sale or the keeping for sale
for commercial purposes of such animals which have been trapped is
prohibited. The disposal of such animals which have been live-trapped
shall be to release such animals in the natural habitat of such animals.
This prohibition shall not apply to law enforcement officers when
acting to enforce the law or to control or dispose of dangerous or
seriously injured wild or domestic animals.
