Chinese Man Gets 6 Months In Jail For Scaring 1,100 Of His Neighbour’s Chickens To Death.
A man in China has been sentenced to prison after he was found guilty of scaring to death 1,100 chickens that belonged to his neighbour, New York Post reported. The bizarre act was actually a part of his revenge scheme against his neighbour.
Notably, the dispute between the man, identified by his surname Gu and his neighbor Zhong had been ongoing since April 2022 when the latter cut down Gu’s trees without permission.
As per China Daily, Mr Gu snuck onto his neighbor Zhong’s chicken farm and then used a flashlight to terrify the birds, causing them to kill one another. The flashlight caused his chickens to panic, which resulted in them fleeing into a corner and dying from the crush.
460 chickens were killed that day and Mr. Gu was apprehended by police. He was then ordered to pay Zhong 3,000 yuan (Rs 35,734) which made his resentment towards Zhong even more intense. He was undeterred and continued to seek revenge. So, he went onto the property a second time and killed 640 chickens the same way.
On Gu’s first unauthorised visit to his neighbor’s farm, he caused a crush in which 500 chickens perished. He was subsequently apprehended by the police and was ordered to pay 3,000 yuan ($436) in compensation to Zhong.
Despite his previous conviction and compensation payment, Gu continued to seek revenge and trespassed on Zhong’s property a second time, resulting in the death of 640 additional chickens.
This Tuesday (April 4), the Hengyang court delivered its verdict, stating that Gu had deliberately caused “property loss” to Zhong.
A peculiar legal case has recently been covered by China’s state-owned media, in which a man with the surname Gu was convicted and sentenced to prison for frightening 1,100 chickens owned by a neighbor he had a dispute with, reported CNN. According to reports, the dispute between Gu and his neighbor Zhong had been ongoing since April 2022 when Zhong cut down Gu’s trees without permission.
During the court proceedings in Hengyang county of Hunan province in central China, it was revealed that Gu retaliated by trespassing onto Zhong’s chicken farm on multiple occasions under the cover of night.
