Crows are Farm Animals?

In Quincy, Florida, you are not allowed to keep farm animals within the city limits. (Code of Ordinances Section 10-6(c)) Makes sense, right? In Section 10-1 they define "farm animal" as "any animal commonly used for agricultural purposes, including, but not limited to pigs, sheep, goats, horses, crows, roosters, ducks or other fowl, and cow, bull, or steer."

Since when is a crow used for agricultural purposes? I haven't met the farmer yet who thought of crows as anything other than a pest to be driven off or killed.

Remember "mystery meat" from grade school? That may not be a good choice in the Quincy schools, if crow is a farm animal!
