What is wrong with South Carolina? A Bluffton woman will go to court to defend her family's right to keep a chicken as a pet, despite a city ordinance that bans chickens. 41-year-old Stephanie Stewart said she plans to argue that the chicken is a family pet, and not a banned livestock animal. She said, "I am not looking to farm, and I'm not going to build an ugly coop in my yard. [Smartie] sleeps in a dog crate in the garage. She mostly stays in my flower beds underneath plants I have out there. She scratches around, and if it's getting dark, she will peck on the door to come in." Police cited Stewart last month, after receiving a complaint about her violation. The town manager said, "I will assure you the police department was not just riding through the neighborhood and saw a chicken and issued a citation. A complaint was filed, and the police department responded." (UPI)
