(a) Any private kennel/aviary/stable permit issued under the provisions of this chapter may be revoked if the animal control officer finds that:

(2) The permittee or his/her temporary agent has failed to maintain the premises where the animals subject to the permit are kept in a clean and sanitary condition; or
(3) The permittee or his/her temporary agent has violated any rule or regulation made pursuant to the provisions of this chapter; or

(5) The permittee or his/her temporary agent has arranged for the wholesaling of any animal, or its sale to laboratories for experimentation; or
(6) The permittee or his/her temporary agent has operated or maintained his/her kennel, aviary or stable in such a manner as to violate any noise, nuisance, restraint or registration ordinance in the city of Selah; or
