OOh.. a town!
It may have LAWS against FARM ANIMALS.
A neighboring community had a big flap last year over a family and their pet milk goats.
Someone raised a stink over the goats (2-3 whatever) and sicced the town marshall on them for having FARM ANIMALS.
Now ANYONE who knows goats can tell you they are WAY less of a ‘problem’ than the same number of DOGS, and, this was brought up in the court case.
But, just like on these threads, that was not the point.
Goats are FARM AMINALS, not PETS.
However, the law, being what it is, said, in essense: “There shall be no boarding of FARM ANIMALS within the city limits.”
Sounds pretty cut and dried; eh? Perhaps, but the ‘law’ did NOT stop there, it added: “such as horses, cows and chickens.”
The QUALIFying phrase was what let the folks KEEP their goats!
(Who knows what the future will bring, law-wise, as the complainer has already tried to get the ‘law’ changed.)
It may have LAWS against FARM ANIMALS.

Not our town, we even have a rather large Chicken coop. Most of the farmers have moved their farm shops and out buildings into town. We are more like a farm commune.
One kid (no pun intended), walks his goat down Second street in the summer on a leash.
