New Ordinance Restricting Roosters

Shows and Events



	September 13th 2011 The New San Diego County Ordinance is now Law! Who will be next? If we cannot stand together now, then when? --------------------------------------------------------------- August 9th 2011 New San Diego County Ordinance Is Restricting the Number of Roosters Residents Are Allowed To Have, Who�s Next? Copyright � 2011 by Kenny Troiano/Maximus Troy Publications It has recently come to our attention that the San Diego County Department of Animal Services is trying to pass a new COUNTY WIDE, not city wide, but COUNTY WIDE ordinance on ALL residents that would restrict the number of roosters you are allowed to have by the amount of land you have. This is an attempt to eliminate cockfighting. The problem with this ordinance is that it has no limitations as to who can and cannot have roosters. It bans anyone from having more than 1 rooster on anything less than half an acre and 6 roosters on anything less than 5 acres of land. This is happening throughout the state of California, and is likely to spread throughout the country. What this means to you is that there is a possibility that all of us who breed and raise fowl, whether for exhibition, hobby or profit will no longer be able to keep the number of roosters necessary in order to maintain the genetic integrity of our strains. Public officials must realize that we already have laws in place to deal with cockfighting, and there are zoning laws already in place to deal with the number of roosters each of us are allowed to keep on our properties. This new ordinance will most likely not discourage cockfighting. An ordinance such as this only punishes the many of us who enjoy breeding and raising fowl, and who abide by the laws of the land. This also will have an economical impact on our economy. Feed stores throughout the county depend on the revenue they receive from the selling of chickens, chicken feed and poultry supplies. To stop this ordinance, or at least have it revised or amended, we all need to contact the Board of Supervisors and express to them that there are other reasons to keep and raise chickens and gamefowl other than cockfighting. And that the majority of breeders should not be punished for the acts of a few. Here is the SDUT article on the ordinance: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/aug/01/san-diego-looking-curb-cockfighting/ And here is the actual ordinance information: http://bosagenda.sdcounty.ca.gov/agendadocs/doc?id=09010e96800f2b5a I plan on attending the Sept. 13th meeting and hope to have as many supporters with me as possible. If possible, I will speak to the Board of Supervisors. I will also email and call all of the Supervisors in hopes of persuading them to change their mind. I encourage you to write to the Supervisors in support of our opposition of the ordinance. Please send your letters/email to: Supervisor Greg Cox County Administration Center 1600 Pacific Hwy Room 335 San Diego, CA 92101 (619)531-5511 greg.cox@sdcounty.ca.gov Supervisor Dianne Jacob County Administartion Center 1600 Pacific Hwy Room 335 San Diego, CA 92101 (619)531-5522 dianne.jacob@sdcounty.ca.gov Supervisor Pam Slater-Price County Administration Center 1600 Pacific Hwy Room 335 San Diego, CA 92101 (619)531-5533 Supervisor Ron Roberts County Administration Center 1600 Pacific Hwy Room 335 San Diego, CA 92101 (619)531-5544 Ron-Roberts@sdcounty.ca.gov Thank you for your support, and I look forward to seeing you all at the upcoming meeting on Sept. 13th.
