Because the cock crowed too early, the defendant cock said he was very broken
4hw.com.cn: it is not uncommon for neighbors to go to court for contradictions and disputes, and there are no strange reasons for litigation. A rooster who likes to crow in South France was also "honored" in the dock because he was complained by his neighbors that he "barked too early".
Corinne & middot, a resident of St. Pierre doleron, an island town in the coastal province of charande, France, according to the French southwest newspaper; Fisso's family has a cock named 'Morris'. Morris was very conscientious and would crow at dawn every day. This was a rooster's job, but it led to the dissatisfaction of his neighbors.
Next to Corinna is a retired couple. The old couple come to the seaside town to live for a while every year. Unexpectedly, the pleasant and quiet rural life was disturbed by diligent Morris. They were annoyed by the 'woo woo' sound coming from the next door at dawn every day. Finally, a petition took Corinna and Morris to court.
The Rochefort City Court of Binhai charande province accepted the case and was originally scheduled to start the trial procedure on June 6. After holding a brief hearing, the judge decided to postpone the trial of the case for one month, on the grounds that the lawyers of both sides still need to exchange file materials.
Morris was absent from the day's hearing on the grounds of 'physical discomfort'. The owner Corinna argued that Morris never made noise, and no one had ever complained about Morris disturbing residents before.
Corinna also said that although she did not know the plaintiff before the lawsuit, she was willing to negotiate on the premise of friendly treatment. But so far, the plaintiffs have shown an "evasive" attitude.
It is reported that the court decided to postpone the trial proceedings, leaving time for the plaintiff and the defendant to reach an out of court settlement. However, the defendant's lawyer pointed out that so far, there is no possibility of reconciliation.
However, the plaintiff put forward different views. The lawyer of the retired couple said that his client had written to the mayor of St. Pierre doleron to seek a solution through friendly negotiation. Their only appeal is to have a quiet living environment to enjoy their old age.
The plaintiff's lawyer also said that the old man was also a farmer. He just asked his neighbors to lock up the rooster at night to avoid crowing at dawn. After all, the place where they live belongs to the nature of a community, not a real rural area.
This' midnight chicken crow 'lawsuit is no longer an ordinary neighborhood dispute, and even caused a dispute over the differences between urban and rural areas. Recently, the topic of "rural noise" which has been constantly seen in the newspapers has attracted the attention of Bruno & middot, mayor of gajac Town, Gironde province; Dionis & middot; Dussarul was indignant.
Dussejour believes that, in fact, these voices constitute part of the 'rhythm of life and simple and rich daily things in rural areas' and should be listed as national intangible cultural heritage for protection.
To this end, dussejour specially wrote to the French national assembly, saying: "the crowing of chickens, the barking of dogs, the hissing of donkeys, the ringing of cows, the ringing of church bells and the chirping of birds, all these sounds should become national cultural heritage."
Dussairuhr also told the media: 'it is an insult for a countryman to be accused in court for such a thing. If I were to go to the city, I would never ask to dismantle the traffic lights and ban the traffic. "
Dussarul denounced some city people's view of the countryside as' a fool who thinks an egg grows on a tree '. The goal pursued by the old mayor is: the countryside should keep the freedom of chickens ringing, bells ringing, dogs barking and birds barking, and will no longer be disturbed by any official or non official
