A better than average municipal definition of animal units. In lots of places there is no distinction made between a rabbit and a cow.
Eight hens would provide all the eggs a family needs and a small backyard coop can be kept clean and essentially odor free. Roosters are not necessary for egg production.
I don't necessarily agree with the law quoted, but the consequences are at least graduated.
If a community's opinion changes regarding urban livestock and there is a popular movement to allow such animals, laws can be changed. I've seen this happen in my own county.
