The article didn't address much about why the guy did what he did. I'm guessing one of his neighbors turned him in for some city ordinance BS or something along those lines and the guy got pissed off, found out there's no law against butchering a cow on your property so hacked one up. He should have a big BBQ for the block.
As to location of the slaughtering,it might be the only spot available...it would be 'nice' to do it out of view,but if that was the only suitable spot,then so be it.
Not really. We all make choices on where to live, if these people want to live the rural life, then they should not be living in the city. I can't move to the city and bring my horses and chickens. Because of zoning laws where I live, I cannot have a pig farm on my property. I'm sure they had every opportunity to learn of the zoning laws before they moved in.
Like it or not, when someone chooses to live in a city, they have to put up with all kinds of laws, such as how many junk cars they can have in their front yard, how they must dispose of trash and even the burial of family members, it's also natural to bury your loved ones in your own yard but you can't do it.
Charges for disorderly conduct, discharging a firearm, health code violations all pending. We got the dept of health, dept of ag, police a whole swarm of regulation enforcers swarming. Oh and the poor children who may have had to see how food makes it on the table. This is our govt in action.
Junk said he hadn't been forwarded the case yet as of Tuesday, but said his review would also include the state's animal cruelty statute. "There are a lot of possibilities."
Lori Buttars, spokeswoman for Weber-Morgan Health Department, said the department had not yet been contacted by police about the cow case.
"We have not started that process," she said. "But we'll work with police as needed." The department had received at least three media calls about the case, she said.
Yeah, all of those local officials are just "swarming" all over this case.
Why would it be ok to butcher a cow in the driveway when it is not allowed to hang clothes on a line to dry?
Another good point.
Why can't you have as many junk cars parked in your yard, and just put your old furniture and appliances out in the front yard when you live in a city? Why bring the cow in at all? Why not just have a small herd in the backyard and bring in hay?
There are some cities that are so restrictive, you're obligated to mow your lawn every so often, you can't have the natural look of high weeds if you prefer that look.

You are making assumptions. The article states, "It's not illegal".
Is there a law that forbids hanging clothes on a line, which I take it is also not allowed in many neighborhoods?
Knowing how people are,yes there probably is.
Most people want others controlled,they do this through laws and zoning and regulations.
It isn't for safety,or decency or whatever,it is to control others so they conform.
It is one of the many reasons we no longer live near people.
