Disputed French ducks get stay of execution

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 a well-publicised legal dispute over a rowdy rooster in western France.

Ms Douthe said the ducks had been given a stay of execution by the court in the town of Dax in a decision issued yesterday evening, adding that she was "relieved" by the ruling.He said that the judge had ordered an acoustic audit to test noise levels which would be carried out in the first quarter of next year.

The couple who brought the complaint, who insisted that repeated requests to solve the issue had been ignored, have sought €150 for each day the noise continued as well as €3,500 in damages and €2,000 in legal costs.
