Description
Cows grazing on lush grass, their bells tinkling as they wander. What could be more Swiss? In Aarwangen, a village in the centre of Alpine country, this epitomic image is not to everyone's liking, and a complaint has been lodged because of the nocturnal "disturbance" from a herd of some fifteen cows and their bells. A counter-petition in support of the farmers has attracted more than a third of residents of voting age. The initiative was presented at a town meeting, which decided to organise a popular vote next June. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES N°347N8WW
