Everett eyeing bans on rabbit sales, peafowl and roosters

EVERETT — Roosters’ crowing days may be numbered in Everett.

The city is considering several code changes that would ban peafowl and roosters, allow more neutered and spayed cats and dogs in a home, and prohibit rabbit sales among other modifications.

Glynis Frederiksen, the city’s animal services manager, told the Everett City Council last week new state laws prompted some of the updates, while others will improve efficiency and residents’ quality of life, as well as strengthen code enforcement.

Currently Everett doesn’t have a rule regarding roosters, while “virtually every” other city in the area bans them, Frederiksen said. Peafowl, the name for flashy peacocks and drab peahens, used to roam around Forest Park’s former zoo.

1. Peafowl and roosters are noisy buggers, but rabbits?

Bunnies are pretty inoffensive, even in large pens and grown as backyard meat. They're only a nuisance when stupid people either dump them or let them roam free in other people's gardens.

2. Those noisy bunnies gotta go!

WTF are they thinking?

3. I don't think the problem is noise

I live just south of the Everett city limits which is a semi-rural area. I've seen rabbits while walking in the area that appear to be domestic ones that escaped or were released by their owners.

Rabbits are quite prolific reproducers.
