In no event shall any person use or employ poison or diseased material to kill or capture wildlife. (Prior code § 408.1)

The city is designated as a wildlife sanctuary and signs bearing the legend "PALM SPRINGS IS A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY" may be placed at appropriate locations within the city limits. (Prior code § 408.2)
