Court allows French ducks to keep quacking... for now

The case of the ducks in the southwestern Landes region was the latest in the country to pit traditions of rearing animals against the tastes of newcomers, following the well-publicised legal dispute over a rowdy rooster in western France.

She told AFP that the ducks had been given a stay of execution by the court in the town of Dax in a decision issued Tuesday evening, adding that she was"relieved" by the ruling."There was no proof of any kind of illicit or abnormal trouble," added her lawyer Philippe Lalanne. "I have the impression that the judge is giving us with this audit the chance to get together and discuss and find an amicable solution," he added.

The case is one of several that have been cast as an attack on the rights of church bells to ring, cows to moo, and donkeys to bray throughout rural France.
