Rooster owners are crying “fowl” over a proposed rooster ban for non-agricultural properties in the Cape Breton region, following complaints about the birds’ noise and smell.
“They're a great draw in the neighbourhood … they're quite trainable,” Jones said. “There [are] kids that have these as pets … it'd be a shame to see them lose them.”But regional municipality planner Malcolm Gillis told CTV Atlantic the council has received complaints from people over the past several years.
So in the past several months, the region’s council has worked with a special committee – made up of residents, farmers and police -- to create a bylaw outright banning rooster ownership for people who don’t live on farms. Steve Gillespie, a representative for one of the districts in the Cape Breton region, called the debate “Rooster-gate 2019.” He said he’s heard from residents who argue that a “total ban may not be appropriate.”
