While I don't exactly agree with the law, or the overall concept of not allowing limited numbers of animals to be kept within city limits, I can't exactly say that the law provides for "cruel and unusual" punishment. Jail time is hardly unusual as a means of punishment, nor I would it fall into the cruel catagory. Perhaps excessive, but 30 days as a possible maximun for a first offense? Doesn't seem that over the top, when you consider first offenses typically get significantly less than the maximum.
