| 452 | Olga Van Kranendonk | In this day of rising fuel costs & trying to eat locally, it makes a LOT of sense to have a few chickens around the yard! I used to live in Amsterdam and they were allowed there. |
| 453 | Sarah Emberley | I'm a vegan who would consider adding eggs to her diet if chickens could be personally kept and cared for. |

| 455 | Harriet Friedmann | we need to find ways to localize food. If chickens can be raised safely in the city, with regard to both public health and animal health, then by all means, let's do it. I think a change to the municipal code should contain specific limits as determined by public health experts, e.g., on the numbers relative to space; on the proper care of chickens by owners, etc. |
| 456 | Anonymous | I fully support the option to raise hens in the City of Toronto for all of the reasons mentioned above. It is integral that we all start to get much more serious about the eat local revolution.
With oil crises looming why would we want to rely on having our food shipped to us from every corner of the world? The city of Toronto could take a real leadership role and support initiatives such as this one that supports local food.
thank you,

| 459 | Laura Shilliday | If you are trully commited to greening up the City and promoting local food sustainability, then this should not be a problem. |

| 463 | jim lucas | I fully support this and I want it to be made legal. |
| 464 | Fiona Louden | Everyone has the right to feed themselves and this is a practical, healthy, cost effective way. |
| 465 | Chip Pitfield | It is lunacy that the City of Toronto prohibits the keeping of chickens. It would be entirely reasonable to create a household limit, but the blanket prohibition is senseless. |
| 466 | Genevieve | A couple of chickens per household would make a huge difference. Thanks. |
