Keep your chickens out of my yard, hippie.

A lawyer friend of mine defended a guy last year who has a farm in upstate New York. Some rich folks from the city built a big house next to his and then tried to get his farm shut down. He won (New York has a right-to-farm law), but now the city has passed a special law with very high penalties for straying livestock. An amusing article from the local paper of record is here.

“The Chryslers, who have struggled with the unwelcome fowl for a year and a half, attended the meeting and were not happy with those unable to appreciate the necessity for the law.”
