Hi ChickenCanoe,
 
I have read all of the articles regarding your story, and I stand behind you 100%  Please come join us on Chicken Swap of Missouri on facebook, which is where I first saw your story posted by another member:

Another group I was involved with also had good luck with changing a city policy regarding feral cats using change.org to start a petition against the city.  They had over 5,000 signatures in a couple of days.

If you start a petition, please let me know, and I will post a link to it on all of the chicken forums that I know of (including Chicken Swap of Missouri), for members to sign.
 
Good luck 
, and keep us posted!!!!!
