No person knowingly shall allow a dog or cat which is kept by that person to defecate on a public street, byway, municipally owned or public land or building, or upon private property, unless the animal's owner or keeper promptly removes any feces to a waste container, or otherwise disposes of such material in a manner inoffensive to reasonable public sensibilities.
