[Adopted 4-12-1994; amended 10-11-2005 by Ord. No. 05-OR-028 (Sec. 16:2-5 of the 1975 General Ordinances)]
It has been determined that the feeding of wildlife,
to include wild waterfowl, in the Township of Burlington contributes
to a public health nuisance and creates an adverse impact to the quality
of the Township's waterways, which is inimical to the health and general
welfare of the public.
No person shall feed, cause to be fed or provide
food for any wildlife (excluding wildlife confined in zoos, parks
or environmental education centers) in any public park or on any other
property owned or operated by the Township of Burlington. For the
purposes of this section, "wildlife" shall include those undomesticated
species of birds commonly known as "swans," "geese," "brants," "ducks,"
"gulls" or any other type of nondomesticated animals.
This article shall not be construed to prohibit
humane acts towards wild waterfowl in individual cases, such as the
temporary nurturing of a wounded bird on one's own premises.
Any person who violates the provisions of this
article shall be subject to a fine in the amount of $25 for a first
offense. For any second or subsequent offenses of this article, the
penalty shall be in accordance with the general penalty provisions
of the ordinances of the Township of Burlington.[1]
This article shall be enforced by the Police
Department of the Township of Burlington.
