Name: Anonymous on May 1, 2008Comments: This is ridiculous! The benefits of raising your own livestock when you have room, especially in these times when food shortages are looming, are enormous. The small minded alarmists who seem to think that anything natural is dirty, and therefore unhealthy, and that people can't be trusted to look after their own needs themselves, are clearly in possession of the ear of government. That is why we must allow the citizenry to take action for their own benefit. Real free-enterprise, local, self-sufficient, and cost-effective. We need it now.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 1, 2008Comments: This is the future - if we even have one. Every one of us is going to have to become much closer to our means of subsistence in the very near future. Peak oil + climate change + the food / energy export crisis + the decline of industrialism are going to mean we need to raise more and more of our own food, and reclaim the power we once had over our own lives and destinies. Raising your own food is a radical act of resistance, one that I totally support! See cookingwithoutcarbon.blogspot.com I want to start with laying hens. How do I get startedFlag

Name: Anonymous on May 2, 2008Comments: Hens are perfectly quite (its the roosters that make all the noise) and I thing it make perfect sense to have an animal that serves several functional purposes and leaves very little in the way of mess compared to other domesticated animals commonly found in the city. I hope you can support my reasoning and change the municipal code banning backyard chicken.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 2, 2008Comments: When I first came to Toronto in 1975 I was pleased and surprised to hear the crowing of a rooster from a neighbour's yard close to me. My own family did the same in Edmonton. I'm glad to see people seeing the wisdom of this long-standing practice of providing food in a environmentally smart way.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 2, 2008Comments: I'd love to be able to use eggs and not worry about feeding antibiotics, hormones or pesticides to my family. Buying organic is pricey, and you can't always trust the label. In the growing oil shortage, we will need to be more self sustainable, as shipping food in will become even more costly... preventing people from doing this is environmentally irresponsible and fundamentally wasteful.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 4, 2008Comments: Having chickens in the yard, veggies and fruit bearing trees, is not only natural and intended by 'God', it is the natural order of things. Governments have tried to take away what Nature has given us and in it's place has given us a replica of the real thing. By not allowing us to be 'free' to live as nature intended, we've become so frustrated as people that we see the evidence in the news. When governments get involved with nature in a negative way (as they have by allowing the cutting down of trees, polluting the waters and allowing industry to continue to make plastic, styrofoam etc...) by injecting our chickens with Nicarbazin () and then claim it is safe for human consumption,,, My final comment is that I will not consume another chicken unless I raise it myself. Thank you for your interest in changing the law to allow ordinary people to take care of their own food choices by raising their food in their own yards.Flag
