One Detroit couple's chickens are not coming home to roost—because the cops confiscated them. Three goats were also taken prisoner by agents of the government.
The couple, David and Sky Brown, were running a small, unofficial farm on their property near Detroit's west side.
They possessed three baby goats and six chickens.The neighborhood is plagued by crime and arson, according to Motor City Muckraker's Steve Neavling.
Nevertheless, animal control agents, as well as two city police officers, showed up to the Brown residence last week to take the animals.
City regulations prohibit residents from having unrestrained farm animals unless they are in the care of a trained professional.
According to Neavling:

According to Neavling:
“She told us she was taking all of our animals,” Sky told me. “I began to cry.”The officers refused to let the couple move the animals to a safe place outside of the city, Sky said, so she begrudgingly obeyed orders to place her goats in crates in the back of a city truck as she sobbed.“They are like our babies,” she told me, telling me their names – Idan, Raichel, and Sarai.The officers rounded up the chickens with a net.
