The way we were...Miami Beach outlaws 'vermin and wild animals'

Ocelot
From the Miami Daily News, Sept. 22, 1954...

Miami Beach passes an ordinance "outlawing vermin and wild animals."

While the law didn't specify what kinds of "wild animals" were illegal, Mayor Harold Shapiro told a reporter "that the ordinance was aimed at people keeping ocelots and other wildcats."
