fwd: If Harvard Can Have Backyard Chickens...

[Sarah Moore]

to note, there was a complaint that made this a news issue, but I know there are complaints about dogs in my neighborhood often and they don't outlaw them.  And they don't help anyone get fed.  Come on, who will be our Rosa Parks of hens.....  decide to do it, ask us to stand behind you and then break this law and then we all help you fight it.  It is a rights issue.

Cambridge Zoning Meeting to Determine the Legality of Backyard Chickens
Thursday, February 11th
7:30pm
Central Square Senior Center, 806 Massachusetts Avenue,
 
There will be a hearing to determine the legality of having chickens and ducks in Cambridge. Up to this point there has been a "thin gray line" and the animals have been allowed because no one complained. Late last year a group of neighbors complained about chickens and ducks at 220 Putnam and so the legality of issue is being raised with the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Here's a link to a website about the 220 Putnam animals (www.savetheducks.org) and a petition to change/modify the zoning to allow chickens and ducks in the city. If you care about people responsibly raising chickens in an urban environment, please consider signing the petition or even attending the BZA meeting on Thursday evening.
------------------
I just heard about this incident and hope that we can support the housing coop that is involved! Do you have any stories, successful or otherwise, about legality issues around keeping backyard chickens and ducks in your town?
