WBZ NewsRadio reports on the efforts by Empower East Boston to keep the chickens it was raising in the heart of East Boston's Eagle Square after a city animal-control officer ordered the fowl removed. More than 470 people have signed an online petition.
Although the Eastie Chickens are taken care of and cleaned every day and they do not make any noise, we are being forced to remove them.

Chicken feed attracts rodents , farms with animals should be kept apart from large populated urban neighborhoods.

There is no way anyone gives a fuck about these chickens being there except for "the rules":

The coop appears well maintained, it's as far from buildings as possible...in fact, Eagle Square is like the least dense part of East Boston.

The complainer wants to evict the chickens so he can rent out that little yellow house for $800 a month and charge extra for a straw bed.
