I would like to clear up some information about "roosters" and "farming".-�
When I was kid I was taught that roosters are a waste of feed, they don't lay eggs, and their
meat isn't as good as a hen, they fight each other, and are annoying. For this reason "a real
farmer" would cull almost all the roosters. Ocassionally, if they did actually rarely need a
rooster for genetic diversity they would swap a rooster out with a different farmer.
I would also like to point out as a matter of law in Hawaii. In Hawaii obnoxius/disturbing
sound is a form of trespassing. A person can legally make as much sound as they want IF it
stays on their property. The problem arrives when sound travels over the border of their
property onto other people's properties and invades/infringes other's right to peaceful and quiet
enjoyment of their own property. I was taught that by a woman who taught a real estate class
in Kahala many years ago. She was retired but at one point had sold the most expensive piece
of real estate on Oahu. Which makes me think she knew what she was talking about.
I'll spare you my opinion, but I do ask you to take this information into consideration when
voting on Rooster Farms.
Mahalo,
