Really? Chickens?

We are in one of the most dangerous times since the Second World War and Orillia is worried about people raising chickens in their backyard. We are facing high interest rates, high inflation, war in Ukraine, a former U.S.A. president arrested, etc., and we are worried about chickens. Wake up, Orillia, and see what’s going on in the real world.

Let people have their chickens. End of story.

If you wish to further debate this situation, you definitely have too much time on your hands.
