Apparently I'm a bad poultry owner

I think that Rammy is over reacting to a bill that looks overdue and appropriate to me.
Appropriate surgical procedures aren't included in this at all, and should be done with analgesics and/or anesthesia anyway. Not 'old school', but more humane.
Actual animal abuse has been around forever, under reported, and not handled well legally. Likely like child abuse, another story for elsewhere.

Had to lock the birds up due to a raccoon wandering around the neighborhood. Well I posted a picture of our birds in a chicken group on facebook and almost all the comments were 'Why are they locked up?! They should be running around free' and 'You're really terrible for keeping them locked up'

I'm thankful that a mod of the group commented 'Maybe there's a predator in the area'
I replied to their comment to confirm this but I'm still a little hurt that people thought I was terrible for keeping them locked up. I had even wrote at the top of the post that they're locked up to keep them safe for a couple days.
don’t listen to them!!!! Trust me. I actually lost 2 flocks. 1 from a break in by dogs eating through the hen house and after by a fox tearing a hole through 2 layers on chicken wire!!! Is that not insane! I though I was such a bad chicken mom. But really it wasn’t my fault. How would I know. We rebuilt a fenced in area with thick metal fencing, netting over the top, wooden hen house and I also got Two goats (not for protection but for pets) and I feel they also help to scare predators. I lock them up every night and let them out every morning. All this may seem like overkill but better safe then sorry.

Im not overreacting. No, certain things are exempt in this Act. The language used leaves this Act open for amendments, which will happen in due time. Dont think it wont. You now can be arrested and charged with a felony if you have one dead goldfish. You lwft your dog outside for an hour without water whike you ran to the store. If you, for one minute, dont think this Act being passed wont come back to bite you in the behind at some point, think again. Its about to get alot worse.
