What's with African boys and their animals?

[Al B. Sure!]

we got quite a few immigrants here from Africa (usually the Sudan) and the carribean... the weird thing is they think they can keep animals.

This makes no sense because my neighbourhood is made up of rowhouses. At best, these homes got a small alley in the back just enough space to fit a car. But all these immigrants be putting chain-link fences around their 7 foot lot and sticking pigs, chickens, and some other weird animals that look like giant hairy pigs or something...

these things are probably the cause of the cockroaches and are probably spreading diseases plus the roosters be cackling at dawn every day...

What's with that and what should be done?


thanks

[Q Classic]

are they animals that you can eat?

'cause meat is tasty... and you could have a big get-to-know-ya bbq...

[Gangerolf]

for a second there I thought this was about something else

Call animal control. It's very illegal to have farm animals in the city.

In most countries people keep farm animals every where they can fit them. I've even seen gypsis keep hogs, chickens, and ducks inside their squelid little shack. Of course these animals **** and piss every where but for some reason the gypsis acted like this was normal.

[Al B. Sure!]

i'm sure this is against zoning laws but little can be done probably. Mayor Street has allowed the Frankford/Olney/Kensignton area of Philly to rot probably because my area is not as solidly Democrat so he don't give a **** about the near Northeast.

At least it looks like the Republican Sam Katz will be the next mayor come november.

Well, I know nothing about African "boys" and their animals, but what frightens me is the fact that there is a certain Philly neighbourhood that tolerates kids with a Nazi internet handle...

I said it before and I'll say it again... you live in the ghetto

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
the child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
are we too blind to see,
do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way

Well the world turns
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
so he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
a young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

Just be grateful they didn't bring any lions or elephants.

They just don't know any better, Al.

Maybe the stink of the animals masks smells they do not like - such as themselves or perhaps Americans.

[Al B. Sure!]

in all seriousness... considering how close to each other rowhomes are, i'm sure diseases and cockroaches and what not are spreading ridiculously fast. ****'s ****ed up and you can't count on the damn Democrat Street to do ****...

should i just live with it?

Call animal control and keep calling them until they do their jobs.
