Toronto plans to make backyard chickens illegal again Toronto
Toronto may be putting a pause on residents owning 'backyard chickens' as cases of avian flu rise across the province.following numerous years of debate by Toronto City Council. The program permits residents of Toronto to legally keep 4 hens, but no roosters.
Over the past few months, the rise in bird flu cases have raised concern over the program. Especially so since the flu is beginning to spread in mammals; foxes, skunks, racoons and small domestic pets. While it's not likely for a human to catch avian flu, Shayan Sharif, professor of poultry immunology at the University of Guelph's veterinary school, toldIf the program is scrapped, those currently with chickens will be permitted to keep them.that city officials will ask council to end the program this Tuesday after which the pilot project will be indefinitely put on pause.
According to reports, the 81 households that currenty have backyard chicken will be allowed to keep them until the end of the birds' lives.
