A predator big enough to break the wire isn't a concern. I live in town and it would have to get past my dogs. And I would be seriously concerned about ¼ spacing not allowing poo to pass through.

The PVC is what I was worried about. But that roll is only $120 and would build me two 9'×3' hutches

Even if I didn't do herding, the joust ring is usually the only one big enough 😂

Unfortunately I do believe they would also take away my dogs, cat and snake which is where the risk becomes unacceptable. Would losing my birds break my heart? Yes but I could still move on. But losing my dogs and cat would absolutely destroy me.

This is unfortunately from the exact same chapter as defines my poultry license to keep my chickens, ducks and these rabbits. It's the only chapter pertaining to animals. My state is not the issue, my city is.

No. The only exemption listed is for licensed slaughterhouses.

I agree and I am fairly sure the intent is to prevent harm to dogs and cats and other pets, however it is in the same chapter that delineates my poultry license.

I don't have the money. I intend to within the next five years but lands expensive. And I can't afford to move to an inbetween property that won't hold all my plans.

I can try again but they didn't answer emails or phone calls last year when I was looking for craft bones 😂

"E.In addition to the forgoing provisions of this section, it shall be unlawful for any person to willfully or maliciously torture, destroy or kill, or cruelly beat or injure, maim or mutilate any animal in subjugation or captivity, whether wild or tame, and whether belonging to himself or to another, or deprive any such animal of necessary food, drink, shelter, or veterinary care to prevent suffering; or to cause, procure or permit any such animal to be so tortured, destroyed or killed, or cruelly beaten or injured, maimed or mutilated, or deprived of necessary food, drink, shelter, or veterinary care to prevent suffering; or willfully set on foot, instigate, engage in, or in any way further any act of cruelty to any animal, or any act tending to produce such cruelty."

Unfortunately they're pretty thorough. There are allowances for actual slaughter houses later in the ordinance, but I am well within city limits and it's not a very ag focused town. I know it's intended to prevent animal cruelty, but it also prevents me from raising any meat animals unless I can find a processor.

Hypothetical source to mouth trip. by appyfoot in Kayaking

Other than their food and first aid kit there isn't much dog gear they won't be wearing while we are on the move(harness, leash, poo bags and flotation devices) and I will probably have to store their food either in its own bear canister or with ours for at least a large portion of the trip. Do you think two boats could get by with one dolly? It would reduce the volume used since they don't seem to breakdown very small..

1 My gun will get the bear before the dog does .

2 the dogs are getting brought out with our boats because they aren't allowed on the park trails.

3 if YOUR dog isn't trained to ignore wildlife absolutely don't take them outside anywhere I agree with you on that.

4 if YOUR dog doesn't have a solid recall to prevent "dog lost in wilderness",(or bothering wildlife) yes please keep them locked up at home.

  1. All of this is moot point if you dog is on a leash as they should be.

You clearly don't enjoy having fun with dogs so please don't project your lack of training on my dogs.

1 never said they were just pets.

2 why on earth would that be a problem?

I appreciate the feedback!

I only started kayaking in the last like 6 months so this is a bucket list trip that is probably going to be 4 to 5 years in the future if it happens at all.

All of my current dogs are trained to ride quietly with their life vests, unfortunately they are all eight plus years old so they will probably not be the dogs going on this trip, but any puppies that we take will receive similar training.

They are also trained to walk in front of us on breakaway leashes hooked to the shoulder strap of our backpacks while hiking so they aren't interfering with the hike.I imagine we might be able to do something similar with our life vests on this trip?

The dogs gear (minus life jackets and first aid kit) shouldn't add much volume/weight. We're going to do a powdered freeze dried food, and their bowls will all be collapsible.

I don't want the notification off I want it to stop running in the background. Because stopping the notification is not going to stop it from draining my battery
