City Officials Contending With Roosters, Goats, Fighting Cocks
This whole Chattanoogan.com story is hilarious.
The first five paragraphs are gold:
City Council members are looking into possible new legislation aimed at curbing farm animals in the city.
Marisol Jimenez, local teacher who works with the Hispanic community, said many Hispanics are used to keeping farm animals and don't know local laws about it.
"I'm not sure we do either," said Councilman Jack Benson, who heads the legal and legislative committee.
Mike McMahan, assistant city attorney, said there are ordinances dealing with swine and goats. But there are apparently no sections of the code dealing with chickens, horses and cows.
Councilman Leamon Pierce said, "As much chicken as I eat, I'm not going to vote against chickens."
It only gets better from there.
