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.

But I'll get things started with:
And how many burros?
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but...
What's the difference between one rooster and twelve roosters at 5:30 AM?
Not much.
It's all the same thing ~ a crowing peacock or a crowing rooster ~ lots of noise.
Not likely Beverly Hills types will give up the peacocks.
It's a Souvrn' California thing ~ not generally applicable elsewhere.
So only one chicken per house, per block, could still be 12 or more roosters. And THIS is supposed to ‘reduce noise’?
I love how stupid liberals are. You protect the very illegals that cause you problems.
Just pump the hens full of steroids and let them fight.

If you speak any German, that name was just funny in this article.
I notice there is still no limit on the number of jack asses per house.
Them darned Mexicans. They turn back yards and aparment balconies (along with one of the rooms) into farmyards where every they live.
Beware if you live in an aparment beneath theirs. If you see the cieling starting to leak, don’t sit under it. There’s probably 10 tons of topsoil above you and they have overwatered their garden...
If you ask me, L.A.’s had a problem with too many cocks for quite some time.
“John Wayne’s not dead, he’s frozen, and as soon as we find a cure for cancer we’re gonna thaw out the duke and he’s gonna be pretty pissedoff. You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower, well multiply that by 15 million times. That’s how pissed off the duke’s gonna be!”
Heh. Can you think of any other reasons why The Duke might be pissoff right now?
“Not to rain on your parade or anything, but...
What’s the difference between one rooster and twelve roosters at 5:30 AM?
Not much.”
The difference is you have idiot city slickers not knowing what they’re doing...
Third. World. Hell. Hole. The transformation is complete.
typical Marxist campaign rhetoric....a Chicken in Every Pot....but no more than one...
they’ll get Jorge’s chicken when they pry it from his cold,undocumented hands.
bttt
guess the cockfighting tournaments go quicker if they are single elimination...
Would you believe in Massachusetts, tenants had to be told...
Do not keep chickens in the kitchen cupboards (doors removed, replaced with chicken wire).
Do not cook in the tub (when they were cast iron).
Do not hang chickens from the clothesline (by their legs, for slaughter).
It’s been over 20 years since I’ve heard of it happening though.
