[quote=Anonymous]You people in your insular little urban DC parenting worlds may be unaware of this, but there is a growing movement throughout the country to legalize a few backyard chickens.

Maybe it is an indication that poverty in this country is an issue. Maybe you should address that issue instead of attacking someone for wanting to keep a few hens.

The truth is -- and I keep chickens myself -- is that hens are a lot better neighbors than most people. They only stink and harbor disease when they're not taken care of -- like anything else.

They teach kids that their McNuggets aren't born of Happy Meal cardboard. They teach them some respect for life.

You're all way way too out of touch with where your food actually comes from, and the suffering that is caused by our demand for cheap calories.

The City of Chicago allows chickens, and no one complains. Chickens have been living right outside our doors for thousands of years. It's only been in the last few decades that they've become "unfashionable."

Haters -- your hipster is showing. Grow up.[/quote]
