Amen! Thank you. Now the thread can rest in peace.

If your pushups start becoming a problem in some way and if people complain, you can be sure that there's a way they can become illegal. You don't own the sidewalk either, after all, so it's not up to you to decide how you use it (you can't build on it for example, or block it, etc. so it's...

If something isn't explicitly mentioned in a bylaw, that does not make it legal by default. A lot of bylaws aren't detailed enough to list every single possible case scenario. So if poultry aren't explicitly banned from the woods, that doesn't mean it's legal to let them roam there. It just...

Exactly. I had to fight an actual animal-hating jerk who wanted to dictate what I can and cannot keep on my own property, when the town didn't mind at all (non-roaming female chickens in this case). He had no authority or reasonable grounds to complain, so I fought him and won. If my chickens...

There are plenty of jerks out there, but you don't have to dislike animals to be against them free roaming and trespassing (whether on private or on public land). So I just want to emphasize that the people against roaming aren't necessarily animal-hating jerks, in fact they can love animals...

So if the earth belongs to no one, then I can go and dump my trash in the woods? I can raise my livestock in the woods? I can build a vacation house in the woods? I can cut down some trees in the woods because it's cheaper than buying lumber from the store? It's nobody's, so nobody should care...

You are definitely missing the point that that land isn't yours to use in this way. You and your birds aren't entitled to it. So letting any number of animals of any type to roam in it is a problem, because it just isn't yours.

This isn't about your 2 guineas. This is about a mindset that a whole lot of people have, and who release a whole lot more than 2 guineas out onto land they don't own, but feel entitled to. One drop won't drown anybody, but you get enough drops and now you have an ocean. There are enough people...

When people mention the neighbors, you say the guineas/turkeys won't be going into the neighbors' yards but into the woods. But when people mention the woods (the local ecosystem), now you say it's not the woods but the neighborhood... So where will they be going then? If they're in people's...

Domestic animals have no place in the ecosystem. They are invasive and destructive, competing with wild animals and destroying resources (destroying actual wildlife in the case of cats). They have no right to be turned loose in nature, and no claim to that kind of freedom if that’s what you mean...

And that's not okay either. People shouldn't have to put up with other people's roaming animals crapping in their yards. Your animals need to stay on your property one way or another. Just because they are birds doesn't excuse you from that. If you can't put up fencing or overhead netting, or...

Why do you want guineas at all if you want them to spend the day as far away from your yard as possible? Seems pointless. Also it's your responsibility to keep your animals on your property and not let them wander in areas you don't own.
