Time to Catch up......saving the Sanford City Chickens


It has been a while since posting to this blog. My bad! I had a few things to catch up on.

Several weeks ago my son had a few problems at school. One day he came home with a letter he had written Mayor Cornelia Olive. We sent it and she was kind enough to respond with a three page letter. Her point was clear...there are laws and citizens must follow the laws. You cannot argue that line of thinking. You can, however, argue that some certain laws are flawed. I would even go so far as to say that it is people of character and fortitude that bring to attention flawed laws.

The Lee Regional Fair, sponsored by the Lyons Club, just past. Our children had no chickens there for people look and gawk at. Sunday we go to the North Carolina State Fair and play. Our children will have no ribbons this year. Our birds, currently visiting a friends farm, are reduced by three. Mother nature has taken a toll on our flock used to being protected by a coop.

In this "Save the Sanford City Chickens" blog I will attempt to limit it to to just the chickens. But I envision branching blogs exposing our City Leaders and their decisions.

In the near future please look to more information on our neighbor cities who fight the same fight; and a review of the inconsistencies in the Sanford City Ordinance pertaining to animals and livestock.

In the meantime, check out http://madcitychickens.com/index.html. They have made a full feature film about city chickens and were kind enough to send me a trailer of it.

Be good.
