Read this when the story first broke. This makes me so spitting mad you wouldn't believe it. Let's just say it set me back a number of weeks' healing with my digestive system being full of holes as it is. There are no words in any language to cover the range of emotion and anger I feel...
Yes, thank you for the update! I'm glad we got the more favorable outcome for today's meeting. I'm really, really hoping and praying this passes and I'm so grateful that The Chicken Whisperer was there to help wrap things up. It'll be a tough wait until July. :)
Edit: Argh, that Nelson guy...
Honestly, I'm not sure what happened. It seemed like they cut off at the second-to-last item on their agenda (this Citizen's Request was listed last) and then that was it. Did it happen off-camera? I looked at the meeting's minutes and the documentation is there...but...do we have an answer...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I hope to be able to have some chickens of my own relatively soon. :) I'm wavering between Buff Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds. I go through 21+ eggs a week, easily, and that's just me! The rest of my family are also egg-eaters. So eggs are pretty...
Just wanted to let you know that, even though I haven't been able to sign the petition yet, I did call them up on my lunchbreak today to lend my support for changing the code. Still rooting for the cause! So exciting and I'm glad I checked out this forum when I did; I'd have kicked myself if I...
Just dropping in to say a quick "hello" and hoping to be able to raise some chickens soon. I find this website and its members to be indispensable sources of information, experience, and guidance for a newbie like me.
Hi! I signed up just to let you know that I support this petition. I've been trying to sign it but keep getting a "server error" message. Regardless if I'm able to get my name on there or not, I want you to know that I'm cheering you guys on 110%! I'd love to be able to raise some chickens in...
