Loose dogs are not a "permitted use" for AG land. I don't know about Hawaii, but a lot of places farmers can shoot roaming dogs on sight if they have livestock that could be threatened. But roosters are livestock. I hated the non stop 24/7 crowing when we had a rooster farmer move in next door, so I am sympathetic to people who don't like the noise. There is a big difference between one rooster crowing and 100 as far as noise goes.
We have another neighbor who lets his aggressive pit bull run loose at times, even after we politely asked him not to because my 82 year old dad was going to be living with us for the winter and the dog knocking him over could permanently destroy his quality of life. The neighbor kept the dog tied for about one week and then returned to letting him run loose. That dog has tried to come through my car window to eat my arm, harasses pedestrians and leaves giant dumps in front of my gate. Animal control says we have to have pictures as proof if we want anything done, but they ticketed us the one time one of our dogs escaped, just based on the word of our (local) neighbor, so enforcement is very inconsistent about loose dogs, and it has nothing to do with AG or residential zoning.
