I thought this would be of interest to the group, given it is right next to .
A new flash poll by Neighbors Opposed to Backyard Slaughter (NOBS) found that over 50% of Oakland residents in Districts 1 & 3 – areas with the highest concentration of “livestock animals” – are opposed to the breeding, keeping, and slaughtering of animals in backyards. The opposition increases to over 60% in zip codes that are most directly impacted by the hazards of keeping and killing animals.
These polling results are particularly significant now because the Oakland Planning Department is in the process of revising the existing Urban Agriculture Plan. NOBS will use the results in the ongoing conversation with Oakland leaders and the community about the very real hazards related to the breeding, keeping, and slaughtering of pigs, goats, rabbits, chickens, and other animals.
We hope you will add your voice to the conversation and let the Oakland Planning Department know that you want Oakland residents to be able to grow their own produce but not at the expense of humans, animals and Oakland’s sense of community.
