Final supporters
The new Animal Control Ordinance was passed in April. Now, 9 months later and after citizens of Mobile have brought a rooster into their flock, the City Council voted to ban roosters again.
District 4 (John Williams) and District 7 (Gina Gregory) were the only two that voted not to ban the roosters.
If you are unhappy with this outcome, please sign the petition. Have your neighbors sign too! Flood your council person's phone, twitter, facebook, email... whatever it takes to let them know you did not want them to vote to ban roosters in all of the City of Mobile.

Really! Come on mobile do the rite thing let us have our roosters we may have to live from our livestock and gardens in the event of an emergency.
Roosters are quieter than children and many other animals. There is a huge resurgence of backyard homesteads, and people have a right to raise their own chickens for eggs and food. It is kinder, safer, and healthier. We have far too many regulations already and do not need more interference in our property rights.
It was an isolated incident that has been resolved by the owner. Neighbors over-reacted. A call to the owner is all that was needed. A city-wide ban, secondary to this incident, would be an over reaction by the council. Thank you.
Mobile, you just invested time and effort to establish an ordinance based on best practices. Why punish all responsible chicken owners based on isolated complaints. Have the complaints been investigated?
Is the complaint related to noise? If so, every noise source should be banned. Why not just enforce the existing noise ordinance? The rooster's owner should be a good neighbor and either shelter the rooster in a soundproof location if the crowing is offensive to the neighbors.
Give the roosters a break!
Rooting for the roosters

As a rooster owner, please do not deny the experience of keeping a rooster to responsible chicken owners in the City of Mobile. While not everyone will choose to have a rooster in their flock the option needs to be left open.
