Family ordered to get rid of pet chickens



Quote:
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., May 20 (UPI) -- A Hollywood, Fla., magistrate has ordered a family with seven pet chickens to move the birds out of the city by the end of the summer.

Magistrate Paul Gifford said in his ruling Tuesday that he personally owned chickens until he was a teen, but current regulations state that owning chickens inside the city limits is a code violation, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Wednesday.
Gifford gave the Kohn family until Aug. 17 to find a new home for the fowl.
However, Steve Kohn said he is willing to take the case to the Supreme Court if necessary.
"The notion that people find it odd that I like to keep chickens as pets should be nobody's business," Kohn said. "You might as well be regulating what type of food I eat, what type of clothes I wear and what I do inside my home."

Rules are the rules, should have been involved in the local government when the rule was pasted.

I don't think he was alive in the late 1800's or early 1900's LOL


We raised chickens growing up
They stink and run the neighborhood
I would want them where I live in the city digging up my flower beds

OK, that's funny. Cross posting, nice!

To alleviate this guys problem, I'll take the chickens. I need a few days of food before I start getting paychecks!
