You guys can check with code enforcement but I believe there is already a law in Escambia County that you must have 2 acres to own a horse.

When are these people up for re-election? I would like to offer my full personal and financial support to their opposition….ESPECIALLY Ms Johnson’s opponent.

Here are your choices. Move out, or get an animal that is not on their list. Llamas comes to mind. Buffalo. If I lived there (and sorry I don’t) I would reek havoc on them city slickers. Town Council would not get anything done just trying to keep up with me. Guard your cats and dogs. They are next to go.

To resident of front street…..I am not sure where you saw goats on Front street because I have lived on front street all my life and I do not know where the goats are. The town limits is no place for goats, horses or hogs. If you want these animals you need to move out of the limits because we don’t want to smell them. We have the best council this town has had for many years, so way to go council!!!!

I can tell you I pay more taxes than all the city council members put together! This ticks me off. If the animal is not in distress leave it alone! Put your ideas somewhere else and clean up this dang town. Start with your own yards first! Then move on to the ones fighting the bulldogs then move on to the ones dealing the drugs. Look at what this town of Century has become, the laughing stock of the county!

The difference between a Horse and a Mule is one – chromosome! This is known as the Reproductive Chromosome. The Mule has one chromosome more than the Horse and can not have babies…..my point….Why have two acres per Horse and One acre per Mule…..Same Body Weight-Difference, One has longer ears than the other…Why the acreage difference? Seems somewhere, someone might want to recheck the drawing board.
I have also seen “Farm animals should be on a farm” – What constitutes a Farm?
**** A farm can be a holding of any size from a fraction of a hectare to several thousand hectares.
****The hectare is a metric unit of area defined as 10,000 square metres (100 m by 100 m), and primarily used in the measurement of land.

So easy to throw things away in this society now days and dictate to others what will be done. …Sad

you need 8% of registered voters pass a ballot initiative… thats a federal and state level… the town does not have any such rules for this… they got 8%. but i guess thats not good enough for them…. 86 people want to vote on it.. only a few are complaining… and if you are complaining.. THEY HAVE LAWS FOR YOUR COMPLAINTS.. tell those people who enforce those laws to do their jobs and stop infringing on OUR RIGHTS!!!

Those 85 people need to request a copy of the town Charter, and get legal signatures and see how to put it on the ballot.

The people ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE!
either do nothing or TAKE A STAND!

Who was it that said, If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything”
