Don’t Let Santa Cruz Erase 100 Years of Tradition — Protect Our Family’s Roosters and the History of Live Oak

Diane Sterling

There is no reason for killing roosters..

California is supposed to be so hip and compassionate about animals but here you are harming them! Please! Please! Please! Do no harm! Stop the madness of harming these chickens/roosters and eradicate your need to put a rule on everything. Thank you.

Save the roosters!

We have to stop these cruel, unfair and ridiculous anti-laws against roosters. We all must come together and be the voice and change.

Barking dogs are more of a nuisance than a rooster crowing

Roosters are Cruzans too!

Save Owl!

One neighbor should not be able to change the history of a neighborhood or take away a child’s beloved pet!

Save the Chickens. This County amendment is a joke. Whats the difference between a loud barking dog and a chicken? Leave things as is. Don't waste tax payer money and time on this. -Matt (Live Oak Resident and Tax Payer since 2002)

Love roosters

Keep the tradition and economy of chickens and roosters alive in Live Oak.

I want to safe our beautiful pet

I've never understood the hatred for the chanticleer. Yes, a chanticleer is a rooster, and it's name comes from the word chant, which means song. And I remember when Live Oak was full of chickens and rooster song. There was a huge egg ranch off 7th Avenue, near Green Acres school ,and I have often thought the street Chanticleer was named after the many chickens in Live Oak. We tolerate traffic noise, garbage trucks, sirens, jet thunder, why not the beautiful and humble morning song of the bird that has given us so much for so many thousands of years. Brava Mays!!

Please! Roosters are already unwanted by many, let's not add to it, let those who can and want to keep roosters keep them.

Please have compassion for this family, which includes Owl, a pet rooster. Pets come in all shapes, sizes and breeds. He is a loved being, as the starting of this petition validates this. Please have a heart. Roosters make great pets, and aren’t any louder than barking dogs.

Please protect the rooster.

I don’t think it’s fair that these little guys get left behind :(

Roosters are part of human civilization.

Rooster lives matter

Roosters are one of mistreated and abandoned animals in the world. I ask that Owl remains with his family.
