That all depends on where you are. Nobody's ever complained about the
family's tanks, or the guy up the road from my folks who flies an H-34
(Sikorsky S-58) from his backyard. Some folks did complain a bit
about the guy in hte next town who was flying his DC-3 out of _his_
back yard, but I think it had more to so with the Exotic Reptile
importatin business he had.

Interesting neighbours you got there Peter. We did have an
'adventurous' (read 'stunned') couple here who brought in a pair
of adult Bengal Tigers, put 'em in a home-made cage in their back
yard (inside city limits) and named them "Bonnie & Clyde".

Neighbours had a fit, they called the LOCAL city cops, who said
(really!) "Oh, this cage is quite safe". (local newspaper named
and quoted them!)

Can you imagine the level of competency of these louts...not to
mention their Chief? (bout the same as the cats I'd say). Anyhow,
long story short, due to public pressure they got rid of them to
a zoo in Halifax.

What utter stupidity, can you imagine one of those things getting
out and killing some toddler? all I can say is it hadn't better
be my grandson...I'd be forced to spend what time I have left to
financially ruining the local police force and this city in the
courts.
