They removed it, probably because it was making them nervous that Alex's case was getting national attention. Sanford will in the end do what they want to and they will make her get rid of her girls.
 
I got the same reply this morning.

This is so stupid, 3yrs? and they finally notice the chickens and now they are suddenly a problem? gimmie a break. The council really needs to find something to do,like worry about actual criminals.

perhaps you should remind them that they are there to represent the citizens and they can be replaced.

maybe they need to get with the councils in these cities and see how poultry laws can work
