Keeping [[livestock]] in cities has been common throughout history and is still practiced in many parts of the world. For example, 50,000 [[pig]]s were being kept in Manhattan in 1859. [[Local ordinance]]s were eventually created to limit this, however, owing to the noise and smell nuisance. These ordinances were relaxed only in times of war when the urban populace was encouraged to provide food for itself.[{{citation|url=http://www.newsweek.com/id/168740/page/1 |title=The New Coop de Ville |author=Jessica Bennett |publisher=Newsweek |date=November 17, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090909023941/http://www.newsweek.com/id/168740/page/1 |archive-date=2009-09-09 }}] |
