Do Not Molest Your Neighbor's Dog

According to the Town of Ahoskie, NC, Code of Ordinances: "Sec. 10-22. Teasing, molesting or baiting.
It shall be unlawful for any person within the corporate limits of the town to tease, molest or bait any dog not belonging to such person or legally under the control of such person.
(Code 1976, § 4-4)"

So teasing, molesting, or baiting your own dog is fine, just don't do it to someone else's dog? Webster's 9th Collegiate dictionary defines "bait" as "to harass (as a chained animal) with dogs usually for sport." And this is okay, as long as you use your own dogs?
