The next court date is in May. Roswell put it's public humility on hold thinking the media and all the attention would go away. Let's not let that happen. In fact, they have a lot more media on the way. The Chicken Whisperer is going to be holding a live broadcast outside the station (location TBD) on Easter weekend. We have had chicks donated so that any Roswell resident can pick up two free chicks that Saturday!
Others coming by can purchase the chicks for a small fee. What fun! Oh, by the way check out the email below I sent to the Councilmembers and other Roswell officials! I thought it was exactly to the point!
Dear City Councilmen and women, Code Enforcement Officers, and Planning and Zoning Directors,
I think it is absolutely ridiculous that Andrew Wordes had one month to prepare for this court case and did so properly, yet the city of Roswell needs to prepare for 2 more months???? That is fowl! The only thing Roswell needs to prepare for is how not to look totally stupid in the public's eyes. You may think that in 2 months we will all forget about how this case is wasting tax money and attacking a man not hurting anyone for raising a few well kept chickens!!! Well, we won't forget. We will continue to email all those involved with our requests to leave this man alone AND let people who want to raise a few chickens do so! We chicken owners flock together! Chickens Rule! By the way, your job is to serve the public and listen to their wants and needs. If you haven't read the comments from the Atlanta Journal Constitution's report on this case lately, you may want to. It is obvious what the people want. They want you to stop wasting tax money, leave this man and others alone, and start focusing your attention to the important things at hand! Chickens bother no one. They are quiet and productive! In an economy like this we all need to have chickens. I can't believe Roswell officials are acting as if they are in the right. No wonder you need 2 more months to prepare. You haven't even read your own laws. You know what's good for the public is good for the government as well! The public is told that ignorance of the law is not an excuse.... so what is yours?
