Why not try backyard chickens here like Toronto?
Asked by Anonymous · a month ago
Why did downtown Toronto, next to subways and one of the largest cities in North America, allow backyard chickens as a pilot and we can’t try it as a rural town?

Initially I was in favor of the idea. I would personally love to see chickens take care of my garden pests. However looking at the bigger picture of biosecurity the risk is very high. Any sort of avian risk could have a catastrophic impact on our food security and stability. This is an area where we would have to carefully examine the risks with experts beforehand.
