How do all of you deal with future laws banning the ownership of chickens?

How do not worry or how do you not get stressed out about if someday in the future the local, state, or federal government bans us from having poultry as pets? This may seem a bit far out, but in today's world, there are some activists like PETA who are pushing for something like this.
 
I don’t worry about it either, I’m too far out in the country. If I was ever in a situation where I wasn’t able to keep my flock, I’d probably try egg-bribery… and then cause a scene. :lol:

That’s the best advice I’ve heard so far that makes me feel better. Thanks.
I said the same to hubby when he admits to worrying that one day he might lose his job. Yes, that is a likely possibility given that most people don't stay at one company their entire careers. So I told him he can worry about it, but if the company goes under there's nothing he as a single individual can do to change that. But what he can do is be prepared for the possibility by keeping his resume and certificates up to date, continuously networking with others in the field, having savings to weather the stretch, etc.

Best to concentrate your worries on what you can affect, not what you can't.
 
We can also be activists and ambassadors for why we should be allowed to keep chickens. If it comes up on something we can vote on, we can squawk a lot to promote why backyard chickens are good for people, good for chickens, and better for the planet than big factory farms. We can show with our good chicken keeping: properly sized runs, coops with ventilation, lots of roosting space, shelter, good feed and happy birds.

And if that doesn't work, then we bribe people with eggs.
 
Why would PETA trying to ban backyard chickens? Aren't free ranging backyard pet chickens living a much better life than intensely farmed ones?

PETA euthanizes more animals than they adopt out, perfectly fine animals that can be rehomed. PETA believes *no animal* should be tethered by human connection, as any relationship with an animal is exploitative.

They're a terrible organization at the heart of it.
