Neighbors' dispute reached the Supreme Court": In Austria, frogs were officially allowed to croak at night. "The reason was frogs that settled independently in the swimming pool and disturbed one of the neighbors' sleep due to their loud croaking at night. Initially, the court ordered the owner of the reservoir to observe silence from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., but higher authorities overturned this decision. The Supreme Court ruled that the frogs could stay in the pond and croak at night because they were a protected species and lived there themselves. According to Austrian law, it is forbidden to chase, capture or destroy such animals, or damage their breeding areas and living areas."
