No person owing or having possession, charge, custody or control of any animal shall allow the same to stray, or run, or in any other manner be, at large, or in or upon any public street, park, or other public place in the city or in or upon any unenclosed lot, land or premises, or shall stake out, or herd, or graze, any animal upon any unenclosed lot, land or premises in such manner that the rope or other attachment by which same is tethered may permit it to be or go beyond the boundary of such lot, land or premises, providing that the provisions of this section shall not apply where such animal is restrained by a substantial chain or a leash not exceeding six feet in length and is in the charge, possession, care or custody or control of a competent person. Nor shall such provisions apply in the case of animals lawfully upon any such public street, park or other public place and which are temporarily hitched to hitching weights, devices or posts at the curb or side of the street, park or place, or which are otherwise located therein and provide for the purpose.
