No more alligators, crocodiles, venomous snakes, piranhas, or roosters allowed
By Michael Howell
The City of Hamilton recently approved an amendment to the zoning regulations that will prohibit keeping alligators, crocodiles, venomous snakes (rattlesnakes in particular), piranhas, and roosters within the city limits. It also prohibits keeping livestock in town. It does allow some domestic animals to be kept such as dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. This would include animals such as rabbits, ferrets, chickens (but not roosters), fish (but not piranhas). The regulation, although allowing reptiles, also specifically excludes rattlesnakes and other venomous snakes, alligators and crocodiles.
