Livestock restrictions draw fire in EnidENID, Okla. (AP)--A new city ordinance restricting the keeping of livestock within the city limits of Enid is drawing fire from some residents. After a heated city council meeting Nov. 10, commissioners approved an ordinance requiring anyone keeping livestock on their property to have at least one acre and a permit. Residents who live in areas zoned agricultural or with three acres or more are exempt from the lawsuit. The new ordinance also removes a grandfather clause, which means livestock in areas that do not meet the new requirements must be removed. Failure to obtain a permit could result in fines up to $500. Several horse owners were among those who protested the new ordinance, saying they moved to their current homes so they could keep livestock.
