I'd been following chicken issue in Northwood with some humor. One family had decided to start eating more healthy in a method they chose. Gardening and storing and canning their own fresh grown foods was a choice they made. Leo Hendrick and his wife, Jerilea, and their two sons do not eat processed meat. Leo hunts for his families meat along with raising rabbits for food.
Then they decided to start raising their own chickens for eggs. That's when their troubles began. Some cities allow chickens to be raised in residential areas as families are looking to get their foods from more healthy means.
Locally, Mason City allows for chickens as does Albert Lea. What got me steaming is when the city council of Northwood decided at their council meeting who could speak and who couldn't.

I read the letter to the editor on this subject. Apparently, one of their city councilors who lives within city limits keeps cattle on his property - without consequence.

It's..whoa SB. I don't think I'm going to comment on that one.
Anyway. The infringement on his First Amendment right started at his trial when he wasn't allowed to speak on the benefits of home-grown, non GMO food, how some cities had wrote ordinances to be chicken friendly or that the only complaints made were by the government, not neighbors or town folk.
QUOTE “We were sick of corporate farming, GMOs and pesticides,” Hendrick told Storyleak. “The price of groceries just keeps going up too so this is really the only way me and my family can survive.”
Unfortunately for Hendrick, once city council learned of his family’s chickens, a Worth County sheriff’s deputy arrived at his home late August to present a letter demanding he remove all animals from his property within 10 days.
“It really wasn’t a surprise. I don’t blame the sheriff’s department though,” Hendrick said. “There has never been a citizen complaint at all about my chickens or my gardens. It just comes down to the city government complaining about it.”
Then he was ridiculed by the council and mayor. With the support of many neighbors physically and written, he went to the city. QUOTE “They actually told me that I just needed to ‘fit into society’ and comply,” Hendrick said. “The mayor even told me that government intruding into lives like this was okay and needed, which I didn’t agree with.” The Backyard Provider
The issue isn't whether he broke a city ordinance. The issue rather is good law or bad?

This is America (at least for a little while longer) a lawsuit would probably get the city's attention.

I live in the city because I don't want to live around livestock. I don't care what anyone eats but personally I like the idea of Genetically Modified Foods, I'm looking forward to the day when I can order up a 3lb shrimp.
What does being a vet have to do with this?
