Riverdale
residents say they are losing sleep thanks to pets kept across the street.
Judith
Veder says roosters owned by neighbors across the street have woken her up
abruptly at early hours of the morning.
Veder
says she confronted her neighbor about the issue and was told by her neighbor
that the roosters were bought for her children as pets during the pandemic and
that Veder should keep her windows shut.
"She has maybe three or four roosters, maybe 15 hens and
every morning, afternoon and night they crow
raucously," Veder said.
Veder
says she just wants peace and quiet.
When
News 12 attempted to contact the owners of the roosters, they did not appear to
be home.
The
Department of Environmental Protection tells News 12 this issue is not handled
by their department.
News 12 reached out to Animal Control for a comment
but have not heard back yet.
