Representatives of Philadelphia City Council: Legalize Chicken Ownership in Philadelphia

Amend the current ordinance that prohibits the ownership of chickens in Philadelphia.

Why is this important?

Many individuals illegally own chickens - that is, those who house chickens on less than 3 acres of land. To protect these individuals from chicken confiscation, and legally enable them to enjoy the plentiful benefits that accompany chicken ownership, a new ordinance to legalize chicken ownership needs to be established.
