## Resource

In a small Maine town, a family’s giant metal roosters—meant to comfort their autistic daughter Pyper during transitions—became a flashpoint between community pride and zoning rules. Fined for allegedly promoting their restaurant, the parents fought back, arguing the roosters were therapeutic, not commercial. After a tense standoff, the zoning board allowed two roosters to stay, integrated into a railing—a compromise that’s still being worked out. But the real story? It sparked a global outpouring of love. Neighbors, strangers, even folks in New Zealand, began adopting the roosters, turning a local conflict into a heartwarming symbol of community support for a child’s unique needs.
