Too early

Some news from Italy. I suggest the neighbors move to the Philippines. The cocks start crowing there long before sunrise. Not to mention the cats making out on a neighbor's roof.

ROME (Reuters) - A rooster crowing at the break of dawn has earned his owner a 200 euro (142 pounds) fine in an Italian court after neighbours complained it was waking them up too early.

ANSA news agency reported on Wednesday that the rooster's owner in Bolzano province would appeal the sentence, supported by the local Farmers' Association, on the grounds that he needs at least one rooster to breed chickens.
