If people really want some livestock, there are ways, but no one should be forced to have them. I live in suburbia with nearby neighbours. I do not have chickens. I have quail. Much smaller, much quieter.That I could agree a bit more with, but some lots (at least where I live near) are tiny. I wouldn't have a dog live in them all day, let alone a chicken coop that's large enough for a flock of chickens. I dunno, I just don't think it's realistic now to expect every homeowner to be able to own chickens anymore.
Two years ago, I would have told you that there was no way I could butcher a bird. Now, I still don't like it, but I can and do. I went into raising quail eyes open that I wanted them for eggs and meat. When I couldn't find anyone to do it for me, I learned how.
I don't believe that everyone should be able to butcher an animal, but they absolutely should be aware of where their meat comes from and how it gets to the table.
