PARIS: Urbanites seeking peace and quiet in the bucolic French countryside will have more difficulty in taking farmers to court over crowing roosters, mooing cows and stinking pigs in the future after parliament passed a new law, reported German news agency (dpa).

This is a legitimate problem in rural areas. People will move in next to a pig farm and then complain about the smell. Glad to hear the French farmers got a win.
@Semi-Hemi-Demigod @DerpyPoint is that a new thing specific to post-covid city-accustomed people trying to emigrate to the countryside, being bothered by countrylife and trying to eliminate it?
Its been happening for a very long time. Usually its farms, but it applies to anything loud and/or smelly. Racetracks and gun ranges are good examples.
A similar problem happens in cities. People move to cities not expecting all the road noise and people noise and complain about it. My buddy owns a rental and tells me about the complaints some people have and it always gets a laugh out of me.
Moooonsiours, Madamooooselles of the court, I moooove you to ignore these awful udderances and meat the cattle half & half way. The other side is milking this offal.
But only when they moo in the proper french dialect.
Moue
(I tried “meaux” but that’s just mo.)
Where do the city dwellers think their organic food comes from?
The French law, in its majesty, permits cows and people alike to moo in the countryside.
Meeuh
the cows mooed, the pigs oinked, the roosters crowed and the French Parliament has heard their voices
