For Whom The Bell Tolls

You’ll have to speak up

The hills will not longer be alive with the sound of cowbells in one Austrian village. Seems not everyone enjoys the clang, clang, clang, they make, especially during the night. A court has ordered a farmer to remove the “traditional” bells from his herd after a neighbor complained.

Psst Hmm, I’m guessing the cows are friggin pleased too!!!

  1. well, I guess… ?????
    :)

  2. City folk should stay in the city.

  3. When I was a kid, I raised chickens for a while–for meat and eggs. It was a wonderful, fascinating experience. But an asshole at the end of the road called the police because my rooster’s crowing was “bothering” him. And because this was in the Mobile city limits (livestock’s not permitted in the city limits), I had to get rid of the chickens. Some people complain just for the sake of complaining–it gives them a feeling of power.

    • By the way, he was an older man, and is probably dead by now. And though I don’t believe in a “hell” (this world is hell enough), I can’t help but laugh envisioning him in a hell full of crowing roosters!

      • Blahahahaha Scott, when I had the most crowingest city rooster in the whole damn world, I eventually got rid of it in fear my neighbors would complain. Ironically, a few days after I sent it to a farm, I was inundated with upset neighbours wondering what happened to their 5am wake up call.

      • That’s pretty funny, Loon!

  4. I have a rooster on either side of me. Lamas , chooks, ducks, horses, Cockies and Galahs. LOVE them and it keeps the kids out of the cinemas at night. Too tired after doing the round of egg collecting a locking up the chooks so that the foxes don’t eat the Sunday lunch.. Where did I put that Little House On The Prairie video lolol? The thing is thelittle kids around me love getting the biggest eggs and showing each other. The look after their own ponies and groom them and get them ready for the shows they participate in. The rooster waking me up in the morning is a luxury I’ve come to enjoy.

  5. Guess they will complain again when they don’t hear the cows coming in their house.

  6. GPS trackers for cows would solve this problem. And maybe a cybernetic implant to control them. Then you could send your stealth cybercows on grazing missions.

    • Ha Ha Love this brilliant hi tech concept. A herd of Cyber-Stealth-Cows coming in under the radar against a background of the rising sun conjures up awesome images. Definitely set to The Flight Of The Valkries
