Especially the urban farmer. Let's face it, between the rising prices of food and the renewed interest in obtaining safe food more and more people will start farming and raising livestock (granted mostly chickens) on their little plots of land. (aka, back yards) Personally, as long as the animals are well cared for and the are kept reasonably clean I think this is a good thing and I believe more communities should not only allow but encourage this 'back to nature' movement of its citizens.
