The black cowboys of Chicago's South Side

[mopinko]

1. chicago has funny laws about animals. you can have anything, pretty much.

as long as it is humanely cared for and not creating a nuisance, ie- stinking up the block, you can keep anything. except pigeons.
yes, even roosters, tho that doesnt mean you wont get tickets and bullshit. iknowdis.
but people have lots of chickens and ducks here as well as goats and pigs.

so many immigrants brought not only their pets but their food animals w them, and i guess no pol ever found the upside of taking them away. my people brought geese. there's a hood called goose island for that reason. yes, the beer company is on that island.
i wonder what impact that had on the health of the city, and whether it was a factor in our growth.

and yeah, i dont know how cops dont know. we still have horse drawn carriages.
dont get me goin about chi cops, tho.
