A man in China has been sentenced to prison after he was found guilty of scaring 1,100 chickens to death amid a feud with his neighbor, a report says.
The man, only identified by his surname Gu by Chinese state media, snuck onto his neighbor Zhong's chicken farm and caused hundreds of his chickens to die by using a flashlight to terrorize them, China Daily reported.
The pair's feud began in April 2022 when Gu cut down Zhong's trees without his permission and Zhong's wife towed the trees away, which angered Gu.
One night, Gu snuck onto Zhong's property and caused his chickens to panic by shining the flashlight on them, which resulted in 500 chickens fleeing into a corner and dying from the crush.
He was apprehended by police and ordered to compensate Zhong with 3,000 yuan ($436), but this did not deter him.
Gu returned to Zhong's property a second time and caused the death of 640 chickens the same way.
Chinese authorities estimated that the 1,100 dead chickens were worth about 13,840 yuan ($2,015), and a court in Hengyang county of central China's Hunan province ruled on Tuesday that Gu had intentionally caused property loss to Zhong, per China Daily.
Gu has been ordered to serve six months in prison with one year of probation, a sentence that takes into account the remorse Gu has shown for his crimes.
