The Great Rooster Law- The LA City Council at Work

Limit one per household

With all the other wackiness that goes on in the City of Angels, the city council is now passing an ordinance to........

limit each property owner to one rooster.

I'm not making this up folks. In some parts of LA, roosters are waking people up in the morning, spreading avian flu and being used for cockfights. Notice that the ordinance would not say anything about chickens-just roosters.

Thus, the Public Safety Committee has drafted an ordinace that is going to the city council for a vote, which would limit each property to 1 rooster.

If someone wanted a second rooster, they would have to apply for a city permit, have a micro-chip inserted in the extra rooster(s), or attach a certified city-issued leg band to the extra rooster(s). Licensed roosters would be allowed to live out their natural lives, but no "replacement roosters" would be authorized.

I swear I'm not making this up. Here's the article from the LA Times.

This is what the leaders of the city of Los Angeles do for a living. This is how they spend their time.

Roosters!
