No person shall hereafter keep or harbor horses, cattle, sheep, swine, chickens or any other animals other than cats, dogs or similar household pets within the Village of Millerton without permission of the Board of Trustees. Permission shall be revocable at any time if it appears that the keeping of the animals in question is objectionable or offensive by reason of noise, smell or other cause.

No person owning, harboring or keeping any cat, animal or fowl shall suffer, permit or allow such creature to disturb the peace and quiet of the neighborhood or other persons by yowling, barking, howling or making other loud or unusual noises for or at an unreasonable period of time or in an unreasonable manner; nor shall such person suffer, allow or permit such creature to conduct itself in such a manner as to habitually annoy any other person.
No person owning, keeping, harboring or having the care, custody and/or control of any cat, animal or fowl shall suffer, permit or allow such creature to commit any nuisance in any public place, street, building or park or on any private property, except with the consent of the owner thereof.
Any person who, at the adoption of this chapter, has, keeps or harbors horses, cattle, sheep, swine, chickens or any other animal other than cats, dogs or similar household pets within the Village of Millerton shall have until July 1, 1987, to secure other quarters for said animal or animals outside the Village of Millerton, after which date § 61-7 of this article shall be enforced.
