Century is still struggling to make it into the 20th century while the rest of the world is rolling along in the 21st.

I do not have a problem with livestock within the city limits as long as the property is large enough to allow a healthy environment for the animals and does not pose a community health risk.

P.S. Century, life in the air age, it’s not all the brochures say.

Well I happen to live in Century and the whole town is not rural (and yes I said TOWN). I live right of Century Blvd in a neighborhood with houses in close proximity to each other and NO I don’t want horses, cow, goats, mules, chickens or any other farm animals living around me. Century does have a lot of rural areas and if people want to have farms and raise animals go buy some of the rural land and have your animals and farm your hearts out.

Really you say that century isn’t rural but a town. I say that they are just a utility department. A town provides police and fire protection. All century provides is utilities. Clean up the town is awesome. Get rid of the drugs. Get schools back in century. It is a country town yes it us a rural town. I’m only saying that there is more important issues than farm animals.

Oh my goodness! I have heard people whine for years about how the north end of the county is cheated and is not treated like the rest of the county…..and here you have the council try and to clean up the place a bit and you go crying about that! Kudos to the council for trying to get some uniformity regarding animals. And to 24/7 – look up the definition of rural and town….Century is a TOWN, and should operate as such. No one wants to bring their business opportunities to an area like that , and I can’t blame them. You people act like you want the wild west up there….wake up! I think all you nay-sayers just want to keep things like they are so you will always have something to be crying about. I hope the council will keep up the work and make Century a desirable town for businesses and residents as well.

The “Barbeque” comment seems a little “Barnyard” if you ask me.

“Ya’ll cook them thar animals and get ‘em outta sight. This here be a swankey neighborhood.”

Pot calling the kettle black?

The whole town is rural. A lot of people depend on farm animals to supplement their food supply. I can’t believe that all the problems that face the town, they are worried about farm animals. What about jobs, getting drugs off the street, feeding the hungry, etc. What about lowering utility bills. Attracting businesses to the industrial park. Just saying.

The only problem I see with this is , I’ve seen Horse on land full of rusty wire , Trash and Alot of that that could hurt a Horse or Mule., alot of the places I see are on pond st and Behind cashes car lot. The conditions how the Horses and land was not liveable for animals, Like I said if you can;t Take care of them the right way you don’t need them.I will be riding around keeping an eye on you so feed you animals and clean your land

I have no problem with animals, but I do have a problem with animal owners that do not take of them, and let them roam free. Goats get out of their pens and eats all the neighbors plants and wreck their gardens, then what? Will they be required to replace lost plants and gardens. That should be addressed also. This is a rural area and a lot of us do not have fenced in yards. Also something should be done with the dogs and cats that roam the neighbor’s property, and the owners think you are in the wrong for asking them to keep them on their property. Some things you just live with to be a good neighbor, but property destruction by other people animals are going to cause problems.
