A French rooster named Maurice is now free to crow to his heart's content after a civil court ruled in his favor. He was put on trial in July in an unusual court battle after neighbors objected to his early morning crowing.

Maurice, who lives with owner Corinne Fesseau in the village of Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron, on the Isle of Oléron off the Atlantic coast, wasHowever, a court in Rochefort, western France, rejected the neighbors' complaints of noise pollution Thursday and ordered them to pay €1,000 in damages.

"I am relieved that we won this fight," owner Fesseau told CNN."I hope that this will advance things in communes all over France -- that this case will set a jurisprudence." The case against Maurice made headlines across the globe and came to symbolize the polarization between rural and urban France -- particularly because the neighbors who objected to his crowing are city dwellers and only visit Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron a few times a year, according to Fesseau.

isibams 😂😂😂😂😂

Happened in my neighborhood, sort of.. then coyotes got the bird one nigh, so sad to lose the noisy critter

Nice

Probably some cranky old white Americans

Only a Moron would choose to live in the countryside then insist on the removal of all things country!? Modern man is defective!!!

Viva Maurice.

Crisis at the highest peak!!! Gotta love France.

Wtf..... Why is this news?

Funny where I used to live they crowed all day long .

I am happy that Maurice got his freedom of speech. We all co exist in this world. We cannot silence animals and birds because we (humans) we don't like the noise they make.

I can crow whenever the I want

Aqui é o Junior eu quero à música da PAIGE true

So many questions: Did the complainants have any sense? Does the rooster crow in french? Was he taken to court because his french was unsexy? I have more but that is all for now. 🚶🏽‍♀️

Yay Maurice!

When ppl fight for the “rights” of an animal, but at the same time fight against the right to live of a human.

Rabbits don’t make a peep and they breed like rabbits plenty of food and free fertilizer and your neighbors can sleep

The amount of “free time” some ppl have at hand!!!!!

These people have no problems at all, they are looking for ways to blow their money by donating it to courts.

'It's the rooster's job to crow in the morning' 😁😆

1st world problems.

isibams So nature is under attack even in France 🇫🇷? A rooster will crow and French man will pick offence. People are mentally sick but the world still gives them rights to exercise.

Talk about too much time on their hands

This oyibo eeh

oh heavens!! There goes the neighborhood.

A what-

walk_Inn_online 😂😂😂😂😂

becuz the rooster is muslim

So, someone sued a rooster for waking us so early to moan?

Good use of the legal system

Fantastic news

Interesting

That's what floaters do --'''CROW'' WHAT ELSE DID THEY EXPECT? HONESTLY --SOME PEOPLE,

Hello France?

What did he plead?

At the end of the day, we are all Maurice, just trying to live our best lives 😂😂😂

This white people no go kill person wating musa no go see for gate

'......I just want people to be reasonable.....'

Classic first world problems.

Fresh air in this desert world.

What the heck

Viva Monsieur Maurice!🇫🇷

Haters gonna hate keep doin you big man 💯

It's obvious that the symbol of France never be found guilty in court.!

Hoorah

White peoples problem,I support the animal rights activists on these case😁.Cockerel must crow.

INSTEAD OF WROTE ON NINE 1 WROTE NINE 1 BECAUSE OBVIOUS Y WROTE ON NINE 1 THAT MEANS Y WROTE THE CODES

That’s not right. Neighbors shouldn’t be forced to hear a loud rooster every morning.

The perfect example of the term 'Nice life problems'

You pippo Dey maaddddd

The Cocks Cockness was challenged and after a battle that questioned its right to exist a fight usualy fought between humans who habitually challenge each others right to exist ad foolishly think they can transfer the madnesd to Fellow animala, but fortunately the Cock Won.

Very good.

they ULTIMITELY WORK FOR WP Y DIDNT HIRE them

Sometimes real incidents read like articles on theOnion.

Wow! White people's problems.... i hope my community will one day reach to the point where wat we are worried about is about he neighborz cockrel making noise...and not the current socio-economic priority challenges.

There was also a similar trial in Bavaria : A couple moved from the city to village and sued a local farmer because of his rooster. As far as I can remember they also lost.

Lol

the most beautiful coexistence!

😂

First world problems

wait what ? ... they took a rooster to court?.. 😬ppl change your dealer ..😂

Great judgment.

What a trial, pretty funny

I lived next to a chicken farm and it is very annoying. I feel sorry for the neighbours.

God bless the judge.

Is the roosters name Donald Trump?

You will understand the importance of a crowing rooster in Nigeria where there is constant power outage with all ur digital alarms out. The only way to know it's almost day break is that early morning crow

I'd be cooking that chicken for supper.

What the hell is going on in the world today?with the numerous problems nd dire situations all over d world.....Here is a rooster story

🙄

Ki lo man se awon people yi!

Si esos vecinos no saben vivir en una zona de campo, que vendan la casa y no sean tan paletos... 😡

DeliGaffar Sanık horoz Maurice beraat etti. Yaşasın Fransız adaleti!🐓 Hahaha😬 Öt Maurice öt...⚡️👌🏻 Oléron🏡

Best cockfighter ever!

Those persons who dislike pet birds/animals kept by others can never visualise love & affection of owners have with pet be it cat, dog, rooster, parrot. These become like family members of owner.

Who was his his attorney pls

Complaining about the noise of animals in rural areas is about as absurd as complaining about the noise of cars after moving to they city.

Animals are winning law suits all over the world, only bodes well for DevinCow. Mooo all you want.

My Gosh!!😆

😂😂😂

Good for him!

Like seriously 😲 If SouthAfricans SayNoToXenophobiaAttacks can respect human life like this.

Maurice looks delicious!

If I was the neighbour I would get a cat!

Sick people

Many people need peace in their lives. It's not the rooster's fault you don't have it. If there's no crowing cock, the sound of your own breath would keep you awake. Go find healing. You're suffering from war of mind.

Is this the local Watering Hole?

save me a drumstick you French frogs.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏

SQUAWK

That was so funny

Yeah, congratulation ' Maurice Team ' B-) ;-) 👍

Some neighbours really can’t mind their own damn business

Maurice is gonna taste so delicious in my chicken sauce😋

Bravo ! 👍 Standing up for your roosters 👍👍!

Roosters crow 5 times a day. Just check this!

...🙄 a good pot roast

The chicken made it to the news and not the stew... There is hope for chickens out there. Well I mean chickens who live abroad not in Africa.

I would be frying that chicken.

Too much time and money to burn

Ouna get time

People are being killed and this is the crap y'all are reporting, smh... 😒

Wonderful! Maurice, the space cowboy, rides again!

But isn't it what they do

Supporters are crowing about the victory.

Great story! GoMaurice

What else was he supposed to do when “some people call me Maurice”?

This is serious

This is a joke right?

Rooster needs a muzzle in the morning.

This is a very Pawnee Indiana incident

They need to move to Spring Valley NY that’s not a problem there. They r everywhere! Roosters stroll down the street as though they own it lol!

mdominorican got ahead and crow.

😂😂😂😂😂👌👋👋

Maurice is just 'Cocking' around :)

This rooster congratulate its fellow French rooster on winning court case & wish humans will give roosters right to live also.

No one: Not a single person: Not even fucking Trump: CNN:

France and her obsession withCocks!

Bro. What is this world coming to? I literally have over a million questions for everyone involved. Excluding Maurice of course, Bless his soul.

Cuando menos sintamos alguien va a demandar los pajaritos porque mucho cantan...

Go celebrate, Maurice!
