I am writing in support of BiII112. Rooster farms are not an appropriate agricultural activity in
the time we live. Somehow, rooster farms have come to be an accepted as part of agriculture.
These "farms" are a nuisance and that is why most residential communities have banned them.
Unfortunately, when land is zoned for agriculture use these "cock farms" are permitted, which
might be tolerable in large agricultural zoning tracts, but when these rooster farms are in and
adjacent to groups of single family homes they are clearly a nuisance.
I have happily resided at 55-716A Hawi Road in Hawi for over 10 years when without notice one
of our neighbors, established a 50 -rooster farm at 55-702A Hawi Road. Many of the adjacent
neighbors attempted to reason with this neighbor when he set out to create this "cock farm"
and we were only met with obstinateness, hostility and even racial epithets. Currently, my peace
of mind, my sleep patterns and my home value have all been impacted by one individual who is
trying to make money from the suffering of animals. THIS MUST STOP!
How are roosters different from barking dogs? Clearly, there is legislation to stop barking
dogs in agricultural zoning, why can't we do something about roosters?
We would sincerely appreciate it if County Council would pursue this issue as our livelihoods, our
sanity, and our home values are being significantly impacted by this absurd agricultural practice.
Thank you,
Leah Naylor
