Maurice the rooster wins court battle over noise with neighbours

17. Happy for the result but hard to read.

My mother had a pet rooster up until a few years ago, a Dutch Bantam, small and friendly. It was murdered by the next door neighbor, because it "woke [him] up too early crowing." Mother has dementia now and frequently asks about her pet, who used to ride on her small tractor with her while she tended her garden, was mostly silent and liked to sleep in the tree outside her bedroom window.

Though he has admitted to the crime there's little we can do to find peace for mother. Though she does like to feed the many crows that visit the front yard.
