See how this Rooster became quite famous in France

This Rooster named Maurice is the reason for a court battle in France! The rooster’s noisy early morning crowing has been termed as the cause for noise pollution by the neighbors of its owners.

It is a rare case which the court has heard, in which a rooster is being accused. His owner, Corrine Fesseau says that the rooster has never bothered anyone before.

“He does not sing anymore actually. It has been said that he sings all the time”, said Corrine Fesseau. Corrine also said that the neighbors only visits the place a few times a year.

The case was heard by the court in Rochefort on July 4th. The rooster, who has become quite popular these days, received a show of support from cockerel owners who had gathered outside the court building.

An online petition to save Rooster Maurice has been signed by more than 100,000 people. The decision on Maurice’s case will now be considered by the court, with a verdict due in September.
