That's really dumb. I am glad I read this, I live in the omaha area, and I was thinking of getting just a couple chick eggs and hatching them and raising them; being an animal lover and all. However, I do know this city is REALLY dumb with things like that. For instance, my good friend moved here from Phoenix, he is a dog Trainer/Breeder/Behavior specialist. The head of the humane society (whom I like to call the "not so" humane society) basically found any reason to get him out of Omaha even though he was complying with all statutes regarding breeding his dogs etc... they even dramatized a little bit and when they couldn't get him ... they decided to nit pick and call the city over everything. I know dogs are different, but its the same scenerio. I think its just if they don't like you, they just don't and they pick. They actually checked to see how many clothes my friend had when inspecting his house... now what does the humane society have to do with how many clothes YOU have?? Aren't they supposed to be concerned with things like ... how much FOOD your animals have? And how well they are being taken care of?? That's just an example. Sad when the pound has more authority than the police here. This is why I want to LEAVE here.
