A lot of times, I think some things just go without saying, but apparently this is not always the case. For instance, I would assume it would go without saying that farm animals, livestock and exotic pets probably shouldn’t live in the middle of the City of Norwich, but I would be wrong.

I have no issue with the animals listed above. Currently, I live in the middle of a corn field, way out in the sticks. If my neighbor wanted to have cows, pigs, donkeys, sheep and an orangutan, I wouldn’t really care. I probably wouldn’t even know about it.

However, having the same animals in the city, causes some different problems. In the middle of a town, where houses are usually located fairly close to one another, it’s hard to have any animals that don’t occasionally bother your neighbors. Even if you only have dogs and cats, the dogs barking annoys people, and the cats walk on the hood of someone’s car and you’re suddenly the least popular person on the block.
