California Acts to Limit Animal Transports in Ambulances

[Guest guest]

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The chickens have come home to roost for Los Angeles for

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 Valley are sometimes

annoyed by concerts from crowing roosters. Real estate developer

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.
