Why May C-V Ban
Farm Animals?
It's Not Romeo, Mayor Says: Who
Wants To Live Next To Barnyard?

CHERRY VALLEY – The good news is: Romeo will not be banished.
Beyond that, it appears likely the Village Board at its next meeting, Monday, Aug. 19, will likely ban farm animals within village limits.
The way Mayor Lou Guido sees it, chickens will stay, but roosters will go. Romeo is “grandfathered” so can stay but, when he eventually passes to that pasture in the sky, owners Lew and Sue Warner won’t be able to replace him.
Horse owners won’t be asked to pick up their mounts’ droppings, but will be encouraged to be neighborly and do so. “We have laws on dogs and cats,” Guido explained. “If your dog poops, you clean it up.”
