Just say no to roosters
What every city council should be focusing its time on: Roosters. The Los Angeles City Council is taking on the issue of limiting one rooster per property because the birds are noisy, dirty and used in animal fights, City News Service reports.
Los Angeles Seeks Limits on Roosters
By ALICE WALTON
City News Service
LOS ANGELES - Concerned that roosters are noisy, dirty and often used in animal fights, the Los Angeles City Council today discussed a plan to restrict ownership of the birds to one per property.
The city's Animal Cruelty Task Force was instructed to report back in 30 days on the
ramifications of limiting possession of roosters, but not chickens.Neighbors complain that roosters can be noisy and create sanitation issues, and Animal
Services officials warn that in many cases, roosters are used for cock-fighting."Animal Services has told me they receive 50 complaints a day about roosters," said City
Councilwoman Janice Hahn.
I wonder how the number of complaint calls compare to, say, graffiti.
