Raising chickens is a great way to teach responsibility and respect of living things. I support the responsible and ethical treatment of animals. Please do not require permits unless absolutely necessary. Please do not require permits for residents raising a very small number of birds in rural areas (zone RA). Thank you for your consideration. ~ Nick Jacob (Disrict 02: Gainsboro)
