I don;t see why there is an issue here. If there is an ordinance against front yard gardens then she has 4 simple choices

1) Don't grow vegetables in the front yard.
2) Grow them in the back yard.
3) Get support and a petition and change the law.
4) Move.

Ditto for the dog license issue. if the local area requires a dog license then she has four finite choices.

1) Get the proper dog license.
2) Don't keep dogs
3) Work towards getting the law changed so licenses are not required.
4) Move to an area that doesn't require dog licenses

Very simple. No need for this woman to play the role of anarchist/victim.
