The Third World Coming to a Home Near You

Denver City Council eases way to own chickens, goats at home

Now the resident undocumented can feel right at home, just like their third world shithole.

The license will allow them to keep up to eight chickens or ducks — but not roosters or drakes — and up to two dwarf goats without having to get a zoning permit or notify the public.

Some people will say that this is for the 'yuppie urban farmer', that's just cover so Denver can cater to more illegal alien scum.

This was the crux of a conversation my wife and I had regarding this idea. She works in the Highlands area which is prime tree hugging, pot and pole smoking and carpet munching liberal Denver. She thought it was a great idea, that you now don't have to go to Sunflower Market to get your Holistic eggs.
I thought it was a great way to turn your neighborhood into Juarez. I can see future headlines: "Chicken Thief Caught" or "Loose Chickens Cause 35 Car Wreck on I-70 and Lowell".

Nice move Denver City Council.

If you want to raise chickens, goats and such WTF did you buy a house in Denver?

I agree, more liberal catering to borderjumpers who want to turn Denver into Mexico City. We're already out numbered here.
Also, side note, I just learned for the first time last night that New Mexico is the only U.S. state that has their state constitution in English AND Spanish.... we're starting to move to a bilingual country and I don't like it... call it my racist or prejudiced nature but I think Spanish is a filthy language.

You can have goats or chickens in almost all the unincorporated counties in the state and I don't know of one that looks like Juarez...just saying.

I doubt anyone notices a difference. Denver actually voted for LESS government regulation here, the opposite of what they normally do.

I am Soooooo confused right now.

less government intervention and control, but more?

Seems like less to me. Now if you want to have a few chickens you just can and don't have to get permission from the city government.

WTF do you need chickens for? That's what has me confused. Who the heck needs chickens and goats? I'd go buy that silenced .22 and start popping off at the animals if my neighbor got them just because he can. Goats are annoying and disgusting, and chickens just make a mess... that's why we pay farmers to take care of that crap out in rural America. [Dunno] I just don't get it...

WTF do you need GUNS for? That's what has me confused. Who the heck needs GUNS? I'd go Call the police at every turn if my neighbor got them just because he can. Guns are deadly and are the cause violent crime that's why we pay Policemen to take care of that crap. [Dunno] I just don't get it...

[/Devil's advocate]

you dont want me telling you what you can do on your property, its a two edged sword.
or you can move to a/Create a HOA.



Personally. I dont want ducks, chickens and goats...
Just saying, I thought we wanted less government in our Business, not more.

WTF do you need guns for...? Whatever they think they need or what they want is their business. Some guy's 6 chickens making a mess in his yard doesn't make a mess in your yard. If you don't want to live next to some guy with chickens, move to a community with an HOA that doesn't allow it. The government shouldn't be involved.

If some guy wants to raise chickens to harvest and eat them and their eggs rather than go buy them at the store that's his business. YOU may not think he needs to but a lot of people also think there is no need to hunt because you can buy meat at the store...

Edit: Byte beat me to the argument...

No, Mexican is a filthy language. Spanish is beautiful. Mexican is full of slang and different dialect that makes it sound annoying...much like Chinese.

OT, I don't really know what the big deal here is. It doesn't seem like this is going to be as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.
