<br />(Ord. 629, 9-28-70)
<br />Tl�ese laws say nothing about poultry or dome�ticated animaIs ihat may be kept in the
<br />city, but even poultry and dornesticated animals or pets must adhere to the other
<br />requireinents shawn in yeliow. This is because t�e City Council wished to protect the
<br />residents frarn water and health problezz�s with disease and manur� runoff iilto the Iakes
<br />and strea�as, r�auseous farm and animal odors, dust, farm chemicals, loud naise from the
<br />animals and machinery, and animals heing hit by cars on the roads. Nor did they wish to
<br />have farm ar�imals sold and butchered in the City.
<br />In Roseville, residents respect iheir neighbars, their quality o� life, and thezr �aealth. They
<br />do nat raise farm ani�-nals and very rarely fowl or chickens in the City. They do not
<br />purposefully store farrri feeds, manure, and farrr� chemicals. Generally, residents do not
<br />house animals that irritate neighbars because of their smelI or noise.
<br />However, some residents have exotic pets such as Southeast Asian Pot Bellied Pi�;s,
<br />rabbits and mice, snakes (like pythons}, fish, and birc�s. No pez�n�aits are rec�uzred by City
<br />Cade. Sa, Eileen, if you wish to have an exotic �ird or poultry, do your research. Call it a
<br />special pet, explai� your special p�t p�ans to your neighbars, build the protective coop to
<br />keep the pet safe from dogs and cats, raccoons and skunks, determine how you will
<br />obtain and store the food and get rid of the manure, research how to keep the pet cal�n,
<br />cool in summer and warm in winter, and quiet, visit your animal doctar for help with
<br />food and medicine, and check the Universiiy of Minnesota Extension Service B�rlletins
<br />and othez University web sites. There are so many varieties of chicken, incluc�ing Chinese
<br />chickens that adjust to t�eing a pet. Ynu rnay alsa want ta go to the State Fair and talk
<br />with the young farmers raising birds in the 4-H programs.
<br />B�st Wishes o�� your hobby and respeci your neighbors and the enviranment.
<br />Sincerely,
<br />CITY OF ROSEVILLE
