This is a legitimate problem in rural areas. People will move in next to a pig farm and then complain about the smell. Glad to hear the French farmers got a win.

A similar problem happens in cities. People move to cities not expecting all the road noise and people noise and complain about it. My buddy owns a rental and tells me about the complaints some people have and it always gets a laugh out of me.
A few years ago a concert venue was forced to shut down because the land next to it turned into a residential area and they all started complaining about the noise whenever there was a concert.
Imagine moving in next to a place that's sole purpose for existing is loud music and then complaining about the loud music.
Humans are fuckin dumb and I can't wait till we're gone
Same thing happens with fire houses. People movie into a home directly next to or across from a fire house that has stood for over a hundred years and then complain about the siren.
Got a link? Sounds interesting

Though reading through it the noise complaints were only a part of the issues that caused them to close
Yeah, looks like a pretty minor factor.
There are 2 Navy helicopter training bases here. This is not a new thing.
And people here as still upset, whine and sue the Navy.
They're very polite BTW. The choppers almost always get to significant altitude before moving around.
It's happening around the Denver airport (again... happened at the old Stapleton airport too). You stupid idiots bought the house knowing it's next to a giant ass international airport! That's why it was so cheap!

Animal agriculture can be a detriment for other farmers through soil and air pollution, and smell can be a good indication.
But what do you do if a pig farm moves next to you?
The pronunciation is meuuuuh.
Not sure about you folks, but I get my meat the way our good lord intended: naturally grown in a lab.
If we weren't meant to solve modern problems with modern solutions, we wouldn't have been given brains to do it.
Where do the city dwellers think their organic food comes from?
But only when they moo in the proper french dialect.
Moue
(I tried "meaux" but that's just mo.)
French here
It's "Meuuh". Pronounced "m-uh"
Close enough, Meaux is a city famous for its Brie cheese.
Hon Hon hon may I get ur milk hon hon hon
the cows mooed, the pigs oinked, the roosters crowed and the French Parliament has heard their voices
Do you moo, sir?
I do moo.
But do you moo at ME, sir?!
Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?
I do bite your thumb.
I was just trying to feed you some hay!
That law is old news, it passed few years ago.
Could you share an older French source?
There is an already existing law that is: https://www.vie-publique.fr/loi/278224-loi-29-janvier-2021-protection-patrimoine-sensoriel-campagnes-francaises But here we're talking about another one to better protect farmers : https://www.francetvinfo.fr/economie/emploi/metiers/agriculture/conflits-a-la-campagne-bientot-une-loi-pour-proteger-les-agriculteurs_6213924.html#xtor=CS2-765-[autres]-
Thanks! Makes sense why there's suddenly news about it
Ty Mr fly!
The law project started in late 2019 and was adopted on January 2021.
Apparently they introduced something this week but I really didn't understand what is.
The French law, in its majesty, permits cows and people alike to moo in the countryside.
Meeuh
Meux 🥐
Moooonsiours, Madamooooselles of the court, I moooove you to ignore these awful udderances and meat the cattle half & half way. The other side is milking this offal.
And the award for the most endearing headline ever written goes to…
