11. Most likely it prohibits farm animals from living in a suburban or urban area.

Those items are adopted by local ordinances and tend to be found in a lot of urban and suburban cities. Those ordinances are frequently used to keep people from having roosters and other loud animals or animals that produce a lot of excrement since they lower the ambiance of the neighborhood.

There are some people who prefer to live in sterile neighborhoods and they see it as a status symbol. When I lived in one of the suburbs near Dallas it took about three weeks for an animal carcass to decay because there were none of the normal bugs or other scavengers (buzzards or vultures) around. In other parts of Texas the carcass would be gone in 5-7 days.
