You're not kidding.  My wife has been vicously attacked by chickens
many times : don't enter a pen of chickens without a sturdy branch
or better !  Chickens have very nasty claws, and coupled with their
limited flying ability and propensity to attack when you've turned
your back, it's dangerous.  My wife has never been injured by a firearm.

Yes, such unwarranted restrictions on private property have become
all too common.  Regulations like "you can't put up an antenna because
we don't like the way it looks", or "all houses in this area must
be at least 1500 square feet", are IMHO unconscionable.
