Comments on: No Animals Registered Under New Century Ordinance http://www.northescambia.com/2014/01/no-animals-registered-under-new-century-ordinance Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 10 Apr 2026 03:16:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dianne http://www.northescambia.com/2014/01/no-animals-registered-under-new-century-ordinance/comment-page-1#comment-251442 Dianne Sun, 02 Feb 2014 17:49:00 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=166788#comment-251442 Residential communities are not zoned for farm animals. They are called farm animals for a reason. They belong on a FARM. I have a large dog and live on a fully fenced half acre lot. This is still not enough land for the dog to get an adequate amount of exercise. If my dog were a horse the problem would be even bigger. I have seen, in Century, horses/donkeys in back yards smaller than what I described here. Eating, sleeping, defecating in the same small space. No way to care for an animal. In the summer the stench must be unbearable. The neighbors can't possibly have enjoyment of their homes because of the smell of your FARM animals. Be realistic people. Just as the days of out houses, no indoor plumbing and no sewer system have passed, so should FARM animals in your back yards. Residential communities are not zoned for farm animals.

In the future, community's will market/brand themselves on just how much property rights actually remain. Not looking good Century. What part of “Land of the Free” do you people not understand?

No wonder the price of milk, eggs, meat etc..., are going up. You can't buy locally it has to be shipped in from other states. Thank you local government for another death nail in this community, Bravo. You deserve a pay rise (That was sarcasm) Funny how a farming community can no longer function as such.

How about all the drugs running around for a start. Between Century and Flomaton (Obviously they do not have a say of what goes on in Escambia Co. Alabama) it is a rampant issue. I do believe that some people should not be allowed to have animals, due to neglect/abuse. This was just a catch-all to end the problem. Bad part is that a lot of good people, that take care of their animals, are caught under the same stipulations. Just saying, you think the town would have more to worry about than this.

Instead they are worried about barnyard animals. Donkeys do not pay taxes nor do farm critters increase the tax base. Perhaps this is why Century has the reputation it does.

I say meet them at the gate. There is so much of worrying about fences height and shrubs height so they can see what you do nothing goes unnoticed! They are crossing the lines, Your property lines on which you pay taxes! This mayor is a mess, Thyou don't know 1/2 of it and I cant post it. Please vote them all out!

Of course perhaps the entire Nation should study the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and all the amendments.........Its worth your while. if you want to live in a true Free United States of America.........

If you had one acre that was square and took away the 200fott buffer zone your left with a square that is 8 feet 9 inches square. If you have 100 acres that is 400 feet wide, you can't have any barnyard animals. Bewildered is right.
