<DIV>
<DIV><EM>Dear Council Member XX,</EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM> </EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM>My family supports the right to raise <SPAN style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #366388 2px dotted; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand" id=lw_1308332676_0 class=yshortcuts>backyard chickens</SPAN> (not roosters). Chickens are clean animals that are quieter than dogs and make less waste than cats. They increase the <SPAN style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand" id=lw_1308332676_1 class=yshortcuts>food security</SPAN> of families, neighborhoods, and our city. Home-raised eggs are also more nutritious than store bought eggs. With most other "Big League" cities allowing chickens, why are we one of the last holdouts to keep people from the freedom of raising healthy, cost-effective eggs? </EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM> </EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM>Thanks in advance for supporting food security and nutritious, humanely-raised eggs,</EM></DIV></DIV>
