RENT THE CHICKEN

A new chicken rental company is ruffling some feathers with the city by skirting a bylaw preventing people from keeping backyard hens.  Toronto to hire Chicken Police?

  1. I'm having some sort of nightmare only I'm wide awake. I just finished Stoddart's book "Real Dirt" and could only read about 2 pages at a time or my head would explode with the lefty nonsense he was spouting...he claims a question to ask farmers, by those wishing to purchase on-farm products is, "How do you sequester carbon on your farm?"
    His bio in the book claims he has advised the FEDERAL government and most provincial governments so is it any surprise we have cap and trade in Ontario?
    I need a drink....

  2. "...you shouldn’t have problems with bylaw officers. They aren’t out on the streets looking for backyard hens.”

    Heh, not yet, that is. I mean, this is the police force that had its officers pissing away time and taxpayer dollars seizing .22s from gun owners whose possession licences had expired.

    I recommend that the by-law purchase a few drones that can do backyard surveillance for chicken coops.

    Toronto: old Huron word for "chickenshit".

  3. I don't think this is very fair. We watched a documentary about a year ago about all the racoons in Toronto. I figure that racoons and other egg-suckers must be classified as wildlife and I'm sure that there are laws that say you can't mess with wildlife food sources. Its time that CPAWS heard about this.

  4. If I lived in Toronto and they seized my hens Id go to the news with the sob story that the cops had ruined my 12 year old sons sex ed project.

  5. I kind of like the idea of city dwellers dealing with the same kind of irritating BS that country people do.
