    Hillsborough County, Florida: Legalize Backyard Chickens!

    The petition isn't showing up on change.org. I've messaged to get help but haven't heard back yet. In the meantime I've created a hard paper petition that I'm gaining signatures. I went to Harolds feed store off MLB in Brandon and Alice, the manager was very gracious. She printed a copy and is...

    Hillsborough County, Florida: Legalize Backyard Chickens!

    I personally scoured the code for their definition. There isn't one-definitions online define it as a domesticated animal that lives within the household that's utilized as a companion. Maybe someone else knows differently? Where is everybody:(

    I sent emails to both commisioners with the September document as attachment. If anything, maybe we can request some type of meeting or be in attendance when their already scheduled meetings are happening.
