Speak Out 12/20/16

No chickens

There are 15 reasons not to have chickens in city limits of Cape Girardeau. Four human diseases caused by handling chickens: salmonella, urinary tract infection, Histoplasmosis, Campylobacter infection. Here are 11 poultry predators attracted by chickens: red foxes, cats, dogs, coyotes, Bobcats, owls, Hawks, raccoons, snakes, rats and weasels (which kills for the sport of it.) Please speak out on this, chickens do not need to be next door because the lots in Cape are too small and too close together to raise chickens.
