I know the "F WORD" show and the idea behind it which is why I said:

"If it were just a few hippie granola heads in Toronto with a stash of a couple chickens for organic eggs all would be fine; I't be like pot essentially is now."

If it were just educated people who knew as much as those, as you, me and those others who appreciate and comprehend the bigger picture all would be grand.

I am the perfect candidate to raise TWO hens as proposed, take good care of them, have sufficient room to do so, would enjoy doing it with my child, would enjoy educating him as to where food REALLY comes from and would probably knock one of them off for dinner myself once a year as is good practice and understand all the legitimate reasons for such a bylaw. Any hen who would spend it's time on my "ranch" would be better off than the best factory farm. Any hen raised on a balcony in a immigrant slum hi rise would jump if it could.

Love me or hate me I am within the top 5% of this city's population and can do it right.

My point is throwing the door wide open will lead to abuse and such abuse would be greater than any "feed farm" nightmare". You are in Sask, meanwhile across the river from me are 100's of apartment buildings no less than 30 stories high already cockroach infested, rat infestested, racoon infested, more people live there than your Province and they may be soon be allowed to have chickens?
