No person shall kill, capture or molest any species of wildlife or damage the nest or eggs of any wildlife within the city, except any poisonous reptile or insect; provided, however, that if it shall be determined by the city manager, or his authorized representative, that wildlife has become a menace to any person's health, safety or property, the city manager shall issue a permit authorizing such person to kill or capture such wildlife. In no event shall any person use or employ poison or diseased material to kill or capture wildlife.
