"Foodies" raising and disposing of chickens in urban settings

[scott4030]

Here is an interesting article about the increasing number of chickens ending up in shelters....

I love this quote from the end of the article:

"Mary Britton Clouse, who owns a chicken rescue in Minneapolis, said the chicken population flux in shelters and on Craigslist is an unfortunate result of the same farm-to-table movement that created the popular vegetable-filled, home-delivered CSA boxes.

“It’s the stupid foodies,” she said. “We’re just sick to death of it. ... People don’t know what they’re doing. And you’ve got this whole culture of people who don’t know what the hell they’re doing teaching every other idiot out there.”

Definitely worth thinking about.
