Mail order chicks have been around for a long time. I have an elderly friend who has told me that back in the 1930's when he was a kid, he lived in a rural area, and his family would order chicks from Sears-Roebuck. The postman would deliver the live baby chicks to their door in wooden crates. I found that fascinating. I didn't know they still sold wholesale chicks via mail.

i used to live next to the super in another building about 20 years ago. that super had 2 hunting rifles and 3 revolvers in his apt. he would go hunting deer in upstate and bring the dead deer back to the building's basement and hang them up and skin them... and then his wife would make venison stew and i would have some. this is a true story.

Mail-order chickens, what's next? Mail-order cows? This shocking attempt at agribusiness in a luxury building must be thoroughly investigated. Placing wealthy tennants at risk for possible exposure to animals and animal feces is beyond comprehension. This man is a menace.

So what? It's legal, it says so right there in the article.
