[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Township

To prohibit the feeding of unconfined wildlife in any public
park or on any other property owned or operated by the Township of
Monroe, so as to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and
to prescribe penalties for failure to comply.
For the purpose of this chapter, the following terms, phrases,
words and their derivations shall have the meanings stated herein
unless their use in the text of this chapter clearly demonstrates
a different meaning. When not inconsistent with the context, words
used in the present tense include the future, words used in the plural
number include the singular number, and words used in the singular
number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always mandatory
and not merely directory.
To give, place, expose, deposit, distribute or scatter any
edible material with the intention of feeding, attracting or enticing
wildlife. Feeding does not include baiting in the legal taking of
fish and/or game.
Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,
association, or political subdivision of this state subject to municipal
jurisdiction.
All animals that are neither human nor domesticated.
No person shall feed, in any public park or any other property
owned or operated by the Township of Monroe, any wildlife, excluding
confined wildlife (for example, wildlife confined in zoos, parks or
rehabilitation centers, or unconfined wildlife at environmental education
centers).
This chapter shall be enforced by the Monroe Township Police
Department and Animal Control Officer of the Township of Monroe. Any
person found to be in violation of this chapter shall be ordered to
cease the feeding immediately.
Any person(s) found to be in violation of the provisions of
this chapter shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $500 or imprisonment
