Zero tolerance enforcement of roadside animal sales ban begins
Animal control officers have adopted a zero tolerance policy towards the enforcement of an ordinance banning the roadside sale of animals in the City of Yuma.
The ordinance prohibits the sale of animals on public streets any public right-of-way,street or park or any public property adjacent to a right-of-way, street or park. It also bans the sale of animals on any non-residential private property without the express written consent of the owner or lessee of the property. Violators of the ban are guilty of a Class 3 Misdemeanor and are subject to a $500 fine or one day in jail.
"Up to now, we've issued warnings to first time violators to increase awareness of the ban." Animal Control Sergeant Aaron Action stated. "But the grace period has ended."
Roadside animal sales raise public health concerns for both humans and other animals due to exposure to unvaccinated animals. In addition, roadside animal sales encourage impulse buying, and the purchaser is often not prepared for the commitment of caring for the animal.
The public is urged to report persons in violation of this ordinance to Animal Control at782 1621 ext. 106. Acton stated that the highest concentration of violations occurs on the Big Curve (4th Ave. & 32nd St.).
The ban was approved by the Yuma City Council in August, 2008. While the Arizona Legislature had passed a similar measure earlier that year, counties with fewer than 800,000 residents were exempted.
