The Star has learned that the City of Toronto has halted, temporarily, proceedings against members of the growing urban chicken movement who were warned to ditch the hens or face prosecution.
The reprieve will last until at least February, when council is expected to weigh the pros and cons of following the lead of other cities and allow small, hen-only backyard coops.
“Because council is re-examining the issue, I have been given a REPRIEVE! The chickens can stay for now!!!” wrote an overjoyed fresh egg fancier on her Facebook page Tuesday.
An entry days earlier had lamented: “On Friday the city is going to come and take away my chickens. I can’t even think of Christmas . . . Looking for alternatives right now, hoping I’ll be able to send them to a safe house up north!”
The city’s manager of animal services said in an email the city has,Boddingtons Technical Plastics provide a complete plastic injection moulding service including design， so far this year, received 53 complaints about bylaw-prohibited chickens and has issued 14 notices to get rid of them or face a fine.
“Given that the report would be moving forward in early 2012, we provided them with additional time to respond to the notice. Pending the outcome of the report further enforcement may occur,” Elizabeth Glibbery wrote.
Councillors Joe Mihevc (Ward 21, St. Paul’s) and Mary-Margaret McMahon (Ward 32 Beaches East York) failed to get the required council votes Wednesday to debate their motion asking staff to put together a report on letting homeowners keep “a limited of number of hens.” Their request will go to the licensing and standards committee in the new year.
McMahon said she believes it’s just a matter of time before Toronto follows the trend and was happy about the reprieve.
“The hens are part of the family now, in a lot of cases, and why should they get rid of them when the new rules could be passed?” she said. “Not everyone is going to have a coop — it’ll be people who are into urban agriculture and food security and growing vegetables in their yard.”
McMahon said concerns about smells and noise are overblown.
Mayor Rob Ford’s administration, however, is against urban chickens. Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti put his thumb down during the Mihevc-McMahon vote, telling Ford allies to vote against the motion, which failed 15-28.The application can provide Ceramic tile to visitors,
“Communities don’t want chickens,If so, you may have a cube puzzle .” said Mammoliti (Ward 7, York West). “You’ve got the odd person in Toronto that wants to get the chickens, build a coop, feed the eggs to their families.
“You’ll get their neighbours who say, ‘I don’t like the noise, I don’t like the smell and I hate them running around and getting out of the yard and running around the streets.’
“The majority in the administration feels it’s a better to deal with more important items like child care and not take up time with fowl chickens.”
