Grand Prairie's Animal Services division addresses wildlife management. The city website advises against feeding wildlife. Ch. 5 protects wild animals and addresses nuisance wildlife through the animal services division.
Grand Prairie's Animal Services division manages wildlife issues within the city. The city's Code of Ordinances Chapter 5 references the protection of wild animals and authorizes the animal services division to handle wildlife matters. The city's website provides guidance on wildlife coexistence, particularly regarding coyotes, raccoons, and outdoor cats. While the code does not contain a specific standalone wildlife feeding prohibition, the general nuisance provisions in Chapter 29 and the animal noise nuisance provisions in Section 13-277(2) can be applied when wildlife feeding creates nuisance conditions such as property damage, health hazards, or pest attraction.
Nuisance wildlife situations may result in code compliance action under Ch. 29 general nuisance provisions.
