Legalizing My Ducks

Ok, so this is kind of a big personal thing for me. I've been secretly raising 5 ducks in my backyard. My mom's allergic to chicken eggs, and duck eggs seem to not cause her any problems. But the thing is, ducks are illegal to raise in Huntington Station, NY! Chickens just got legalized this year, but for some reason ducks and geese were left out. The town found out, and are now trying to make me get rid of them. But I won't go down without a fight! How could anyone think something as cute as a ducky would be so illegal?! Anyway, I'm now trying to raise some awareness about the benefits of backyard ducks as pets in my area, and hopefully get the law changed so that I can keep my little quackers. (They don't really even quack loudly either!)

I'll post more pictures of my babies soon, but you can check pics out at my facebook group. Also, please sign my petition to legalize them! Every vote counts!
