fighting laws against "livestock" in town?

Ann Vole · 01-18-05

I live in a very small hamlet (5 houses) and I had to get rid of my miniature goats and pot bellied pigs because there is a bilaw that all the hamlets in my county will not allow "the harbouring of livestock or poultry" within the hamlet's boarders. I was wondering what kind of arguments have been used against such laws in regards to small pet hooved animals?

I was wondering what a hamlet was? The only Hamlet I have heard of before in the play (very good) by Shakespeare.

He He,

around here a hamlet is less then 50 people and a village is 50 to 250 and a town is 250 to the size of a city

Ah so it is a mini-village so to speak.

One idea would be to focus on the rationale behind these "no livestock" laws and then work from there. Some of the rationales might be fallacious, i.e. harboring livestock increases the chance of disease, etc., so you might be able to proceed from there.

However, with that being said, it's a lot easier to enact new laws that to rescind old ones...once a law gets on the books, it tends to gather "momentum".

in this case, it was made law in 1926
