The main reason we got them was because we want to produce our own food," says [Allison], who also gardens extensively. In her view, the home-raised birds, which are free-range when the weather is decent, produce more wholesome eggs than those she can buy in the grocery store. What's more, the birds teach their children about where food comes from and how to grow it.
Tom Carter, a University of Winnipeg geography professor and Canada Research Chair in urban change and adaptation, said the issue has forced administrations to rethink their zoning bylaws, and the pressure is likely to rise. "It is a debate that is surfacing in many cities, and not just in Canada, but in the U.S. as well," he said.

Leaving town when you have pets can be a nuisance. Finding a place that both you and your dog are happy with often takes trial and error. But for cat owners it's even more difficult.

You can surgically alter a dog because an owner isn't motivated to train it properly. But that's cruel and it's no alternative to changing the owner's behaviour.
[Mike Pagtakhan]'s problem strikes a chord with all of us, whether we're sick of having dogs squat on our lawn, of our neighbour's kid practicing the bagpipes for hours or listening to strangers bellow into their cell- phones in public places.
If there's an answer to be found, it's not in the dusty annals of the city's bylaws. Unless someone is actually enforcing the charges for impounding animals in the city ($10 for horses, cattle, sheep, goats or pigs; $1 for fowl; "impounded milk cows shall be milked and the poundkeeper may keep the milk for his own use"), they're not going to be enforcing the barking dog bylaw.
