Champlin regulates the number of allowable agricultural animals by acreage. Section 10-12(b) states, "no person shall keep, harbor, or maintain care, custody, or control over any horse, cow, sheep, pig, goat, or any other hoofed animal, chicken, duck, goose or other agricultural animal or fowl any place in the city. This section shall not prohibit the keeping of such animals in a stable that complies with the zoning code. The maximum number shall not exceed one animal per one acre of land." Coon Rapids Coon Rapids does not permit the keeping of non -domestic animals. Non -domestic animals are defined as, "cows, sheep, pigs, potbellied pigs, bees, goats, swine, llamas, mules, horses or other hoofed animal, ducks, or other agricultural animals or domestic fowl and any animal, reptile or fowl, which is not naturally tame or gentle but is of a wild nature or disposition or which, because of its vicious nature or other characteristics, would constitute a danger to human life or property."
