BackYard Chicken Workshop

[REY LEON]

Hi Folks, I will be giving a presentation at teh city council meeting in Avenal to support an ordinance for backyard chickens.  The meeting starts at 6pm, I will present soon after.  need you present to also comment in support.  I have included a good paper to share why it is positive.

Main thing to know is that many cities are allowing it, even big metropolitan modern cities like Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles.  It is widely accepted that backyard hens are a part of the sustainable community strategy along with community gardens, composting, recycling and reducing waste.  Si Se Puede!  Be Present!

“It’s amazing how people can get so excited about a rocket to the moon and not give a damn about smog, oil leaks, the devastation of the environment with pesticides, hunger, and disease.  When the poor share some of the power that the affluent now monopolize we will give a damn.”  -Cesar E. Chavez
