Commonly, local zoning laws restrict the number and type of animals you may keep. Most areas allow certain types of domestic pets, such as dogs, birds, cats, in a reasonable number, in a residential neighborhood.
If you are an animal lover of chickens, sheep, horses, llamas, rabbit, chinchillas, or cows, most ordinances prohibit keeping these farm animals in residential neighborhoods. The wise animal lover should know how an area is zoned if the keeping of such animals is important or you are interested in starting a home-based rabbit farm business.
