It is illegal to kill any living creature within the city limits.

The Law

A hyper-strict local ordinance makes it technically unlawful to kill any living creature, which, if read literally, would include swatting a mosquito or stepping on a spider. The law was originally intended to stop citizens from shooting at wildlife or stray dogs within the densely populated city boundaries. However, the exceedingly broad wording makes everyday pest control a theoretical municipal offense.
