Could my state ban the sale of poultry in the future?

[bobsmith2002]

I live in California. Could the state I live in actually ban the sale of poultry birds in the future? How would they enforce it especially on Craigslist or hoobly? Also would it be constitutional because poultry for human consumption is allowed. Do I need to worry about this now? Or should I just relax and not panic about the future? I’m worried someday these radicals might take my pet birds away.

As you know, legislators can construe all types of reasons to outlaw activities of citizenry. Even if unconstitutional, it would have to be challenged and courts would have to side wth the challenger.
However, I think you should relax. No one can predict the future. I live by the idea that you shouldn't worry till you have something to worry about.
I actually think a statewide ban in California is unlikely.
NPIP (national poultry improvement program) already bans sale in most states if the fllock from which they came is not declared pullorum-typhoid clean through an annual NPIP blood test.
This has been the case for decades, maybe nearly a century.
It doesn't mean people follow rules though.

Another reason to never step foot in Cali.

I'm in the cesspool state of CA and JUST starting a new backyard flock after 10 years since our last. I haven't seen the writing on the wall regarding chicken bans but hey, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if something like that came down the pike from these clowns in Sacramento. There are too many laws passed by this legislature over the years that are completely unconstitutional but they pass them and force us peasants to go battle in the courts. It seems as a normal, decent, law abiding taxpaying citizen, I've been in the crosshairs for just about everything in my life from my business and regulations I was targeted in to the recreational and personal life choices I have chosen. It's endless. Can't wait for my wife's turn to retire so we can get out.

OP, have you heard of some regulations or bans brewing in this state? Do I need to worry about that, now?!
