Terence
Hyperbole thy name is local newspaper. What you actually mean is, you’ll be a bit sad and the community will go ‘meh’
Still Local Councils eh, with their petty ‘rules’
A spokesman for Greenwich Council said: “The rules around keeping animals in council properties are clear and form part of tenancy agreements.
“Hens can be kept under certain circumstances that safeguard their well-being, avoid nuisance to neighbours and make sure vermin are not attracted.
“The keeping of cockerels is not allowed because they instinctively make noise which is not appropriate in built up environments and can cause a nuisance to neighbours.
“Following noise complaints we visited the property and Mr King was informed of the rules which mean that unfortunately the cockerel can not be kept at the property.
“We would like to meet with Mr King and help him come to a solution which provides a long term home for his cockerel.
“We are happy that the hens are being well cared for and we have no objection at all to them remaining at the property.”
Actually that seems a pretty reasonable answer/response to me.
So you can keep the hens, but I’m afraid it’s no more cock for you my lad..
Shameless google-whoring aside, it's an interesting case should Terence's owners wish their chicken to breed in the future.
ReplyDeletePresumably the hens will either have to be sent for dirty weekends to Terence's new home in the country or the owners will have to resort to artificial insemination.
Either way, you should have some interesting new Google traffic.
Can't beat my 'Double The Lesbians!' post! ;)
ReplyDeleteNot sure why has to send Terrence 'to the country' - what sort of chef is he, that he can't manage cock au vin..?
Sounds a bit rude for an upright citizen in me.
