You may have missed the news but
Miami Dade's Cluck Busters are no more. What's that? You didn't even know Miami Dade had a unit to track down, catch and relocate these fine feathered friends? They did and over the last 7 years they caught over 16,000.
Now, with the program cancelled due to budget cuts, Hialeah and the rest of Miami Dade county is
overrun with chickens, roosters, ducks and more. It's estimated these two legged little lice carriers are affecting over 30,000 citizens all over the Miami-Dade county. They're a
major code violation but good luck getting anyone to help you solve the problem.
Local 10 ran a recent story on the chicken situation but in the end the reporter had to get resolution on her own.
The biggest problem for Code Enforcement is knowing who to fine. Because these fowl roam free for the most part, it's hard to prove who owns them. (Perhaps we can help in that area by snapping photos of where they are and directing code enforcement to their door. je je je)
Chickens, ducks and roosters really are taking over Hialeah. No wonder people compare us to a third world country. Won't someone help?
Here's just one video of
chickens gone wild.
