Thread: LA passes law limiting roosters to 1 per household

Enabling Illegals to continue with their defiant third world ways....



LOS ANGELES (AP) - The chickens have come home to roost for Los Angeles city dwellers who keep roosters.

The City Council on Tuesday passed an ordinance that—with few exceptions—allows only one rooster per property. It was spurred by complaints over noise and hygiene and concerns over illegal cockfighting.

Janice Hahn, who authored the bill, says it will give residents of her district some peace and quiet.

Neighborhoods from the harbor to the San Fernando Valley are sometimes annoyed by concerts from crowing roosters. Real estate developer Michael Mekeel says tenants of his Panorama City development have had to turn up their TVs and wear earplugs.

The law takes effect in November and carries fines of up to $250.

That is absolutely shocking.

If this wasn't so pathetic it would be funny....it has to be in the drinking water!

A group of rental properties I handled once while the owner was back in Canada for the summer, had one of its cottages rented to Mexicans. I walked in to collect the rent and there was a young rooster running around the living room. One thing to have a rooster in a pen outside, but quite another to have the rooster inside.

I know how do you think people that live in condos and apartments will deal with their neighbors now....

The way the economy is going we might all be raising chickens before long.

We have chickens, but no roosters. Hens for laying eggs, and some "broilers" we are raising for meat. However.....ours are outside, in a pen with their own henhouses, no inside birds.

Roosters are not good eating, really, by themselves, not good for anything (without a hen around to mate with for chicks), so one has to assume these people would have them only for fighting.

I grew up in rural New Mexico and people had chickens and roosters which is understandable in rural life but in a city I don't think it's right.

Watching Top Chef on night, one of the chefs made coq au vin, and used a chicken. The contestant was informed that why the French invented the dish to begin with was that you need an old, stringy rooster, not a chicken. I know I made it a couple of times and recall it took a lot of red wine and mushrooms, but I (shame on me) used chicken.

We live in a suburb, on the outskirts of town, nearly rural. Many people here have chickens, it has become an issue of debate recently.

Found out that although the city website said we could have three and no roosters, the city said they do not allow ANY. A city inspector came here and told our landlord people could as well, so long as they were penned andn ot "free-ranging".

We have a lot of dollars invested in built pens, fencing, feed, pest control, poultry health care items, and just cannot afford to just dump it all now, and just not too sure where we stand in our area (will be looking up where the sity lines are).
