In a one of its kind move, a law protecting the sounds and smells of the countryside has been passed in France. The law has been passed to get rid of the complaints about the smell of pigs or slurry-spreading, or cocks' loud call disturbing people's sleep. "The countryside is this music, the rustling of branches and leaves, and cries that form an architecture when we close our eyes," Senator Pierre-Antoine Levi said.
