After a whirlwind three month campaign, an east coast CLUCK group was handed a 4-0 defeat when the Port St. Lucie city commission voted to not change the city's laws regarding backyard chickens. Many of the arguments used against chickens were the same tired assumptions and sketchy accusations that were heard in Sarasota, among them that a few hens would cause a perceptible rise in backyard predators.
CLUCK (Citizens Lobbying for Urban Chicken Keeping) is a group working in support of backyard hens in Sarasota. We've had success in the city and are turning our efforts to the County. Write to volunteer, show support or ask questions at sarasotacluck@gmail.com And check out our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=118190386787&ref=ts All we are saying is: Give Peeps A Chance.

Sarasota CLUCK: Inspiration for East Coast Chicken Initiative
The online TCPalm features a Anthony Westbury story Chicken ladies all a-squawk about PSL livestock law. It seems Brenda Richardson of Port St. Lucie has been busted for having five hens on her half-acre lot and she is not too pleased. So she and her friends and allies are starting their own CLUCK group. The article mentions our Sarasota group and provides a web address for our blog. There is also a link to the Port St. Lucie online petition.
