Frogs are officially allowed to croak at night in Austria. The country's highest court has put an end to a long-standing dispute between the residents of Pashong commune, Yuta writes. One of them complained about "night concerts" of amphibians in his neighbor's artificial pool - they croaked too loudly and prevented him from falling asleep. The trial judge sided with the plaintiff and ordered him to "populate" the frogs at night, as well as pay court costs of 30,000 euros. The defendants tried to solve the problem - they even put pecans in the pond to reduce their population. Then they appealed and won. An attempt by a neighbor who suffers from insomnia to challenge the decision in the Supreme Court was unsuccessful - he was told that the frogs entered the pond on their own, without human intervention.
