Are you allowed to keep chickens in the suburbs?

In some places yes, in some places no...

Do you think the police will actually do anything about it if you aren't though?

100%. They do fokkal with the screaming students at midnight at the University res.

TIA.

You've eaten that nutty soy cricket mince?

Yup, I've eaten crickets, silkworms and Mopani worms.

 

[LazyLion]

What must we do with the warning? Run? Stop eating?

You add it to your list of warnings to keep track of!

Yuck! I'd sooner go vegetarian.

 

[Zophos]

Can you teach sheep to bark?

Cows to meow instead of moo?

If this is possible, I might be able to get away with keeping livestock in the suburbs....

Hope the 2 year lockdown was worth all the chaos the world is going through now. Well done you bright sparks. Special thanks to China kick starting it all.

Start growing and raising your own food

We do for fun, but it really costs more than just buying from the local supermarket.

Thanks for the warning, what am I supposed to do about it? I mean bugs can be ground into protein and made quite palatable. You could actually make a decent mince type food with crickets and soy, not sure the rest of the population would be okay with it.
The crickets give the soy a bit of a nutty taste.

Just remove the legs. They are a bit chewy. Crickets and grasshoppers are even halaal. Termites are another option.

I see they're poisonous for dogs? I have 4.

Good to know about red cloth and cd's, I must try that. We have a troop that comes through everyday. I think our property is the intersection on the monkey highway. Sometimes there are 2 troops and they hash it out with each other.

I actually had to Google to check that. Seems that they are only slightly dangerous for dogs if ingested in large amounts.

Nasturtium

If you think that your animal is ill or may have ingested a poisonous substance, contact your local veterinarian or our 24-hour emergency poison hotline directly at 1-888-426-4435.

My biggest problem isn't from the monkeys, it's from all the bushbuck that have made themselves at home in the garden. There is a roaming herd that comes daily, but two young males seem to have decided that this is their territory and never leave. So anything I plant needs some kind of barrier around it until it's taller than they can reach. The one has become so brave that he will come onto my deck and eat the potted plants while I'm sitting there.

I had to google "Nasturtium". That's when I saw the dog thing.

Nice that you got wild life, good sign that things are healthy. Is this Kloof area?

 

[Vengeful]

Mostly vegan anyway, but then again this stuff is almost as expensive as the meat. Darn Salmon at Wooliez jumped to over 300 bucks a few months ago as well. Yikes.
