Hello, my name is Gingi Freeman. I am currently appealing to my city to return my two miniature dairy goats that provide milk for my babies since I cannot produce breast milk – my breast tissue was removed as a teen from a birth deformity – and I use the milk to make organic baby formula.
The city initially threatened to fine me $1000 a day that I had the goats. Now they are willing to change the municipal code to allow my small goats that break no noise, health or trespass ordinances, but only if I foot the bill for rewriting the zoning code, which is $3598. I have recently started a Food Freedom USA chapter here in the Central Valley and I am organizing a large rally on June 1st outside of City Hall in Visalia to appeal to the city to allow small, responsibly owned food producing animals within City Limits (similar to what Denver adopted in 2011).
If you could help spread the word, let people know about our rally, or encourage people to contact my city and ask them to return my goats and change this overbearing and unethical ordinance, that would be AMAZING.
You can learn more at http://www.improgoat.com where I’m keeping all the information together for those interested.
Thanks for your time! <3
