The Missoula Chicken Wars Heat Up

I love this. It seems that the citizens of Missoula, Montana are caught in a struggle over the place of chickens in their community. Some folks, influenced by the desire for organic food and the eat locally movement, are raising chickens in their yards, within city limits. (Apparently there is an "urban chicken" movement.) Others are against it. The city is considering legalizing chicken possession. (By which I mean owning chickens, not chickens being inhabited by the spirit of Satan.)
