"Hi, Annabelle.
 
Being new to the Permaculture community, I'm reading up on some interesting threads. I live in Gilbert & hadn't heard anything about this. It's been 8 months now; has there been any more activity by the council?
 
I love the sounds…"

"I agree that showing up in person really gets their interest. Being there in person demonstrates how improtant the issue is to you. But I would also urge you to not just show up in person, but to ALSO send in letters or personally call town staff…"

"Well, they are making a "study". Reviewing additional "information". Not sure that they won't tackle it later."

"Thanks!"

"Thanks! Please email our Town Council even if you don't live in Gilbert."

"Thanks! Please email the Town Council eben if you don't live in Gilbert."

"Thanks!"

"As a matter of fact I have two beautiful ones. Top milking lines. You can see pictues @ www.veteransranch.com or call me 480-694-8513."

"I'm encouraged by the response to Bethany's letter, and yes, having some Gilbert residents show up to a meeting counts for a lot! Please, please keep us posted."

"Excellent! Thank you so very much!
Hopefully, you can spare a few minutes and go with neighbors to a Town meeting.

I see your face is a Nubian. I have Nubians,too. :)"

"The letter I just sent to our mayor and the members of the town council:

Dear Mr. Lewis and Members of the Gilbert Town Council,

My husband and I chose to purchase our Gilbert home in 2008. We made this decision because Gilbert possesses a…"

"Thank you so much! Please don't forget to email the Town Coucil. They have heard it from me. Rumor has it somebody lives near peacocks and they are in the chopping block, too. Make time to go to any Town Council meeting and speak up. At the begining…"

"Thank you for posting this, Annabelle! As a Gilbert resident, this boils my blood too. I will be definitely talking to my neighbors and voicing my opinions to the powers that be. My first stop will be my neighbors, the Flakes...aunt & uncle to our…"

"For the best impact, Gilbert residences need to really step up on this. Most cities already do not allow roosters (like Scottsdale) so our voice really does not carry the same clout as the people who live in your city of Gilbert. Nothing ticks off a…"
