Their mere existence is annoying, like mosquitoes. If you're going to have
animal control laws, they have to be equal for all animals. For instance,
our town's laws state that it's "a violation" for cats to defecate in places
that annoy people. (It actually uses the word "annoy"). There's no such rule
for dogs. That will be fixed soon.
