remember... BE GENTLE! That nasty pecking bird is a PET! I don't know, maybe we can get AKC to open up classes for chicken obedience, Chicken Agility... Get your chicken a CGC and it will be welcome in Motels 6, 8 and 10. This really was a serious mistake, but sometimes you have to smile or start crying. Stormy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forwarded Greetings- The Health Board of King County(Seattle metro, but also all rural areas too), which affects all Cities and unincorporated areas is enacting a new Pet Regulations Bill this coming Thursday, January 21st. The notice was made yesterday afternoon, right before the 3 Day MLK weekend. The main points though that affect ALL commercial sellers of Poultry, which can include Farms and Feed Stores and Hobbies- is that in King County Poultry will now be classified and regulated as "PETS" not agriculture or livestock. ALL Birds to be exact. But poultry are specifically designated as pets in this law. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
