Is the council going to imply any rules about keeping her animals under control?

I live in a rural township, and just recently the council recieved a noise complaint about our roosters (which we have had over a decade, as well as having chickens and roosters before that but there was a few years break in between). But the council have ordered us to get rid of the roosters since within the time we have been thier our property has been upgraded to a "township living space" meaning different animal noise rules apply.

Tis the sad march of progression that city folk have been moving into our rural town and then get upset when the hear farm animals....

Nah they're not any more of a nuisance than the Canada geese, they were just concerned that they were someone's pets. Luckily my Grandma knows pretty much everyone in town (or at least that's what it seems like sometimes) so they just tell her when they see them around and she goes to retrieve them.

I was scared you were gonna say she was a cat hoarder or something. >.<

One guy had chickens that he let wander wherever, even onto the road. Ignored the town telling him to coop them up, they're a hazard (even though we live way out in the countryside)
He ignored them
Then one ran in front of the bus and managed to puncture a tire o.e

Bye bye chickens, they got taken away from him and put with a family known to treat their chickens as pets, but out of sight of the road

My great-grandma (deceased) and grandma (paternal) used to get on the news a lot because they both knit socks and slippers en masse all year long and then they donated them all to charity

pigs aren't a weird pet... though they are outlawed to be pets in certain citys...
thats how we ended up with one... though we ate it later cause it didn't like the country life and attacked my brother

alpacas aren't toooo weird either... i don't thinkatleast... i think i'm a bit country though...
