I’m in Western MA, I recently had to get rid of mine due to neighbors complaints, but I know some people around here who can take them if you’re willing to travel to Western MA.

I spoke with a city council member today who happens to be a neighbor (a few blocks away).
He wholeheartedly agreed with me and is willing to help. He said he will talk to the member who made the proposal and see what they can do.
