Hey Pet Talkers! Help is needed! Trying to ban parrots in Connecticut town

[Freedom]

Chester's City Solicitor will advise them that while they can regulate livestock, they can not regulate pets in this way.

How do you know this? Has it been on your local news? Why would it even come before a meeting then?

Fowl (disambiguation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term fowl refers to certain birds often used as food by humans, which make up the Galloanserae clade.

This is the definition of Fowl according to Wikipedia. If they are trying to ban Fowl, parrots do not apply to this category!! How then can they be included in a ban of Fowl??

To answer Karens question, I heard about this on FB.

The actual proposed legislation is so broad it could apply to all birds, it is not specifically worded. And folks worry it could be seen to apply to other pets easily, too!

I have sent my letters to the two e-mail addresses you provided and included the definition of FOWL which does NOT include parrots! This entire issue stemming from two neighbors scrapping could lead to the punishment of an entire town. And if it passed there, this sort of thing could spread to other towns. What's next? Dogs? Cats? This thing needs to be nipped in the bud!! I hope EVERYONE is writing their letters. PLEASE this is important. We need to preserve our basic rights in this country. We also need to share this far and wide!

Thanks, Parrot Lover! The more letters they get, the better! I'll be talking to folks about it on my radio show tomorrow, and hopefully that will help get the word out as well!

Sent my email today, the more the better, folks!
