Existing law prohibits a person from causing, permitting, or aiding or abetting the fighting, worrying, or injuring of a cock. Existing law provides that a violation of this provision is a misdemeanor, as provided. Existing law generally regulates the production of poultry, eggs, and egg products. This bill would prohibit, on and after January 1, 2027, a person from keeping more than 25 roosters that are movement constrained through the use of an enclosure or tether, except as specified. The bill would subject a person who violates this prohibition to a civil penalty not to exceed $2,500 for each violation, as provided, and would provide that each day a rooster is kept in violation of that prohibition constitutes a distinct violation. The bill would define, among other terms, "rooster" and "enclosure" for purposes of these provisions.
