Farmer Rolf Rohrbach poses with one of his cow in the village of Aarwangen, central Switzerland, on November 29, 2023. Cows grazing on lush pastures with ornate metal bells gently tinkling around their necks may be the ultimate symbol of Switzerland, but not everyone is enchanted by such traditional scenes. In the village of Aarwangen in central Switzerland, a complaint was filed earlier this year over the noise levels from a herd of around 15 cows left to graze overnight on a field next to a residential area.
