Town Digs up 50 Year Old Law to Block Chickens and Goats



I came across this story yesterday.

You would think that with so many people trying to get back to the land and the roots of their food supplies, this town might pay more attention to its citizens and public sentiment. Towns all over the country are changing regulations so people can have a couple backyard hens. Oakland City seems to be headed in the wrong direction.

In the article it says, "City council is granting one exception". Either the law is for everyone or it's not. When our Founders said that all people are created equal, they meant that laws apply equally to all people. A city council should not have the right to single out one person anymore than The Regime has the right to exempt unions and other cronies from Obamacare.
