Odd Town Rule

My day job involves enforcing state and town building codes, but I occasionally look at other town codes, just for fun. Here's one I found today:

"No person in a park shall give or offer or attempt to give to any animal or bird any tobacco, alcohol, or other known noxious substances."

You just can't help but wonder what sort of odd incident made someone propose those code. And wouldn't you love to see photo on the faces of everyone in attendance at the meeting at which this code was proposed?

I have done a fair amount of domestic/feral/wild animal rescue and investigation, but I have never heard of this sort of offense (even in a park). Sure, kids sometimes offer beer or pot to pets (that's totally uncool, of course), but to "OFFER" tobacco or alcohol to an animal or bird (a bird is an animal, by the way)? "Hey Mr. Squirrel. How about a beer?""Hi there, Blue Jay! How about a smoke?"

Pretty odd.
