Ironic that NW Arkansas is mostly very rural and that is the kingdom of Tyson territory.

The city council vote was 8-0. It doesn't sound like there is any Tyson vs. Little People connection, but the city council vote was 8-0 in favor of the limitation to four hens and zero roosters.

"I mean, I'm a native of northwest Arkansas, and I'm accustomed to hearing a rooster crowing in the middle of the night, and it doesn't bother me," [city council member] Wright said. "But it's something that to a lot of people moving in here from other areas and not being used to having that ... I think it was more of a concern for them."
