B00M: Couple Drags Rooster To Court | READ FULL DETAILS
An aged German couple, Friedrich-Wilhelm K. (76) and Jutta are dragging a rooster called Magda and it’s owner to court for disturbance.
According to the couple, the rooster which belongs to their neighbor, Michael crows up to 200 times a day without closing its mouth thereby torturing them.
The couple are demanding that the rooster be removed from their neighbour’s home in Bad Salzuflen in western Germany, and in preparation for court, they made daily logs recording each time Magda crowed.
‘We can’t use the garden and we can’t open any windows”.
‘He doesn’t start until 8am because he is locked up at night but then he crows 100 to 200 times throughout the day. It’s unbearable’ Friedrich-Wilhelm said.
‘A cockerel doesn’t belong on a quiet housing estate,’ said the couple’s lawyer Torsten Gieseke, while Friedrich-Wilhelm pointed out that one neighbour moved away two years ago due to the unbearable crowing.
But Magda’s owner, Michael D., 50, argued that it’s essential to keep the rooster to ensure his hens stay in line.
‘The hens need the rooster, otherwise they would pluck each other,’ the owner protested.
Michael bought five chicks in 2018 for his garden with the intention of harvesting their eggs.
But one of the chicks turned out to be a rooster and quickly began angering local residents.
