Old Town sues owner of loud rooster

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • October 17, 2023

The rooster starts his crowing every day around 4 a.m., from his cage in a driveway in the middle of Old Town. His crows bother neighbors living in nearby houses and apartments. After nearly a year of telling the resident the rooster must go, Old Town filed a lawsuit asking a court to force the owner to remove the animals. Property owner and resident Mona Dougherty is violating an Old Town ordinance that prohibits livestock and poultry in single-family and general residence zoned areas.
