[Added 6-16-93 by Ord. No. 9-1993]
(1)
Statement of purpose: It has been determined that the presence of
large numbers of large waterfowl on, within, and around Glen Lake
in the Borough of Woodbury Heights causes, or may tend to cause, a
public health nuisance in and around said lake, including the surrounding
parkland, which is inimicable to the general health and welfare of
the public. The purpose of this section is to prevent such conduct
that may attract such wild waterfowl to the said Glen Lake in the
Borough of Woodbury Heights.
(2)
Feeding of wild waterfowl prohibited: No persons shall feed, cause
to be fed, or provide food for wild waterfowl on, within or around
Glen Lake in the Borough of Woodbury Heights, on lands either publicly
or privately owned. For the purposes of this section, waterfowl shall
include those nondomesticated species of birds commonly known as "swans,"
"geese," "brants," "ducks," "gulls," or other types of waterfowl.
(3)
Exceptions: This section shall not be construed to prohibit humane
acts towards wild waterfowl in individual cases such as the temporary
nurturing of wounded bird on one's own property or premises.
(4)
Enforcement: The Police Department of the Borough of Woodbury Heights
is hereby authorized and directed to enforce this section.
No person shall hold or permit to be held, in any building or
on any premises within the borough, any cockfight, dogfight or any

established, kept or maintained, within the borough, any cockpit or
