Elderly Woman's Pond Noises Prompt Neighbor's Police Call

A 92-year-old French woman, Colette Ferry, received a visit from the police after her neighbors complained about noisy frogs in her garden pond. Ferry, who has no control over the amphibians, sees them as her entertainment. This incident highlights the conflicts that can arise between homeowners and their communities over nature-related issues. French lawmakers have recently passed legislation to protect the country's sensory heritage, including the sounds and smells of local wildlife. Ferry is curious to see what happens next as the police have assured her that someone will come to remove the frogs from her property.
