The Sioux Falls urban agriculture task force

I agree with you on that one. More than likely 1 or 2 of the people who started this task force have neighbors with animals or a weedy garden and they want it gone.
 
City probably wants to limit numbers and size, charge a permit fee, to raise additional dollars to fritter away, while making everybody miserable. Funny how all the things we thought were rights, turn out to be priviledges, granted by the governments, big and small, as long as you conform to the nice little box they cram you in! Our founding fathers would have started a rebellion over less offenses. We're to civilized for all that, so we give rights away little by little, little rights, given away with little thought.
 
Anyone recall a Federal scheme called the National Animal Identification Act from a few years ago? Would have required you to register and presumably pay a fee (it had no other source of funding) in order to take a chicken to a barbeque at the neighbors house. Or to report within two weeks that you rode your horse,sold your horse,took your cow to the vet etc.
It also required (for food safety reasons,as it was explained ), you to register a number for every piece of affected (not infected) livestock. From chickens and ducks to to horses and cows. But lo and behold, the mega-producers would have been able to register hundreds, or thousands of the same animals under one lot number. Would have had no way to isolate one particular animal once it was in the food chain. Just as rising fuel cost and overegulation force independant truckers off the road, and the huge firms love it. Same held true of the Con-Agra's and Cargill's in this situation. This is what happens when big biz owns the politicians on both sides of the aisle.
These people and others like them are still out there and they are pure evil.
