Mary Robinson writes into the Freep today.
http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/44355512.html

She has recently moved to Winnipeg and wants to know if other Winnipegers are upset that we cant raise chickens in our backyards. She was VERY surprised by the fact that you can't.

Well Mary I completely disagree with you. Having raised chicken and even had a pet chicken I know that Chickens definately do not belong in a city. The noise, the smell, are two quick reasons never mind the disease carrying capability of them. One of the big reasons we see the Avian flu come out of Asian areas is quite simply because of humans and chickens living so close to each other. You want chickens, move back out of the city. There are trade offs between country life and city life and this is one of them.

Yeah, I wanted to keep cows in my yard too. Then someone asked me what about all the flies and the sh1t and I figured that the cows would just have to get used to it. Smile

I was going to ask if you live near city hall, but then remember no the Maples.. and that explains alot.

I want to raise Crown Royal and Cigars, and am waiting patiently for global warming to raise the average temperature to 15* Centifrad!

Who is with me? I want to pick up this lady, escort her to The Provencher Bridge, and toss her over, but have to make sure that the "homeless man" is some where else!

nah, just let her know that us city folk also dont allow several other things from the country, I really find it very surprising that this lady can move to winnipeg and actually think she could raise chickens here.

They're debating a motion allowing them...up to four I believe...and anywhere in the city I guess.
