'Low class citizens'.....hummmmm....well, I'm an elected official and am asked to speak at different events and for clubs throughout the year. In my bio that whomever reads while introducing me, I always include a personal blurb about keeping backyard chickens. I'm not a celebrity but I'm pretty sure that the people that have elected me for 4, four year terms don't think I'm a 'low class citizen'. I'm real sure that I am not...
Your city council member must have a very sheltered existance to be so ignorant. She sounds very feaful that her sophisticated lifestyle may be in jeopardy. You won't change her mind no matter who keeps chickens that she may admire. I'm sure she would think that 'the servants take care of the livestock, far away from the main house', anyway.
Do a search on here for how others have convinced the city to accept chickens and work on the other council members. It just amazes me that such closed minded people get elected to represent us all...sheesh....
