Noisy cockerel sent death threats

Rooey the cockerel has been sent death threats for waking villagers.



John Newman, 57, who runs the Admiral Hood pub in Mosterton, Dorset, received letters saying the bird Rooey should die because of its noisy crowing that starts at 4 a.m.

One letter warned: "You must silence your crowing rooster or it will come to grief." Another said: "Get its neck rung you cretin. Cockerills belong on farms."



John has been investigated by noise officials but the council took no action. He said: "If you don't like country sounds then don't live in the country."
