We're not talking about breeding and raising pit bulls or roosters for **** fights. We're talking about raising chickens for food. This blog has nothing to do with sewers, the commercial slip, pit bulls, failing schools, inept government, etc. It's incredibly amusing to me that you can take such diverse issues and connect them to raising chickens.
At a time when food prices are beyond the reach of some folks, (Okay, I'm a hypocrite, no matter what the cost, food prices have always been beyond the means of some people.) what is the problem with people trying to reduce the impact of food costs?
Should there be limits on the number of chickens a person can have, dependent on lot size? Yes. Should there be controls on handling waste and odors? Yes! I'm not talking about a free-for-all, do whatever you want solution. But, to me, saying no to chickens, rabbits, and other small food animals doesn't make sense. (Yes, I've eaten rabbits, including rabbits we raised as kids. And, yes, I'm a member of PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals. And, as I said before, I'm a hypocrite. I love animals and I eat animals. Go figure.)
Do I know how many people will buy chickens? No I don't. My opinion is, most people won't.
I can't say ****-fights?
