Chapter 100

[By the way, when does this livestream start? I've been waiting for half an hour and it's so boring.]

[If you don't want to wait upstairs, you can go out. My great aunt can't even squeeze in.]

"That won't do. I came early to take advantage of the terrain. My eldest son is still watching with me."

Yes, yes. I'm really curious about how the judge will rule in this case. This is the first lawsuit under the Protection Act. Who will you side with?

[Of course I support the animal owner. The other party poisoned the animal recklessly without any regard for the harm.]

Me too, me too. I just want to see how the law will decide. Give me a prison sentence. This old Deng, let him be ruined in his later years [angry]]

Since the Pet Protection Law was first implemented, many pet owners whose pets were harmed by others began to look for evidence and file lawsuits, determined to make those who harmed their pets pay the price.

So recently there have been more and more lawsuits related to such incidents. Today is the first one. The owner has already collected all the evidence and has been suing, but he has not received the punishment he deserves. At most, he was fined, and the amount of the fine was very small.

Until this bill came out, she appealed again, and the court formally accepted the case to test the waters for the new law.

Since many people were paying attention to this lawsuit, the court considered for a long time and decided to broadcast the verdict online. This would, on the one hand, help spread legal knowledge, and on the other hand, deter evildoers.

The lawsuit was held in the Pingshi People's Court. Thanks to the government's vigorous promotion of various favorable measures related to pets, Pingshi has been rated as the most animal-friendly city.

It has attracted a large number of pet owners to settle down here, so the fact that this lawsuit was filed in Pingshi also gave the defendant great confidence.

In the courtroom, many acquaintances including Lin Gui, Jiang Li, Song Shuyi, Jiang Yi, Tang Yuan, etc. were paying attention to this lawsuit. If this lawsuit is successful, it will mean that the lives of pets will undergo earth-shaking changes.

On the stage, the plaintiff once again opened up her own scars, describing the series of time points from the victimization to the death of her baby clearly and distinctly, as if it were engraved in her memory.

The defendant was an old man in his forties or fifties with a ferocious face. He was acting arrogant and nonchalant, but a closer look revealed a hint of panic in his eyes.

Since he hurt the dog for so long, he has also been involved in several lawsuits, but I recently heard that there are new laws coming out, and I am not completely sure whether I can withdraw safely.

After the plaintiff's lawyer recounted the suspect's various evil deeds, the judge asked the defendant's lawyer whether he had any questions or objections.

Originally, the lawyers on both sides believed that the defendant was bound to lose this case because the plaintiff had retained all the evidence and had even won the case before. This time, he was just unwilling to accept the light sentence he had received before.

So the defendant's lawyer had no words to defend himself, and in the end the plaintiff still won the case, but the judge read out a different verdict.

The defendant was sentenced to two years and eight months for endangering society and intentionally harming owned animals, and was deprived of his political rights, etc.

The lawsuit finally came to a successful conclusion. The moment the plaintiff heard the judge's verdict, he burst into tears. He finally avenged his baby.

Upon hearing the victory of this lawsuit, Lin Gui and others sitting in the audience were also extremely happy. This first victory laid the foundation for future pet injury lawsuits.

In the future, anyone who wants to harm a pet with an owner will have to think twice before doing so. Even the number of dog dealers will be greatly reduced. After all, one can change jobs, but going to jail is not worth it.

After hearing that he was going to jail, the defendant became completely dazed. He used to be a well-known figure and had the final say in the family. His eldest son was preparing to take the civil service exam and his youngest son was preparing to enter a military academy. Now that he had a stain on his reputation, it ruined the entire family.

It's true that evil will be punished.

There are many different opinions on this lawsuit online.

[That's great! Evil will be punished, old man. Go to jail.]

"Ah, no way, the government is so strict on such a small matter, do we still have freedom?"

[Upstairs, the sentence for harming animals in your favorite country is even more severe than this. Is it because the moon is so big outside? [Speechless] . . . ]

I don't own a dog, but I support this bill. While it punishes bad guys, it also punishes unscrupulous owners. Have you read the second half of the bill? If a pet injures someone, the owner is fully responsible and must pay a lot more. It's much more than the previous law. People who don't care about pets should think twice before getting one.

[Exactly, it's a good thing for both parties. I remember being bitten by a dog and the family immediately beat the dog to death. I couldn't get compensation, and the dog lost its life in vain. People like that are totally unacceptable.]

Generally speaking, people on the Internet are optimistic about this bill. The existence of the law can screen out a large number of pet owners.

After watching the first lawsuit, Lin Gui knew that things were about to change.

As Lin Gui expected, the Pingshi Court has been handling cases involving harm to owned pets for a long time. With sufficient evidence, the court has basically ruled in favor of the owner.

The suspects either have to go to jail like in the first case, or pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in cash. These real cases have sounded the alarm again and again for those who want to harm animals.

In the later stages, Ping City was unable to handle more and more cases, and began to assign them to other cities for joint processing.

With the previous examples, everyone knows how to handle these cases, and the judgments are basically correct. Pingshi, as the first city to take the lead, has greatly increased its reputation and has become a pet policy experimental point.

Anything related to pets must be found in Pingshi first, including snacks, toys, exhibitions, etc.

Aunt Ye's husband, whom Lin Gui met at the snack exhibition, even called to express his gratitude for boosting the economic and cultural development of Ping City.

After all, every pet owner knows that Ping City is the headquarters of the most famous small retail store.

Three years later, Lin Gui is now 26 years old. This year, Pet Lele cat and dog bases have been successfully opened in every city across the country. A survey shows that the mortality rate of stray cats and dogs has dropped by 80%.

Because there were too many cats and dogs in the later period, the website could no longer display them all, so we started to classify them. Each place had a website that only uploaded local cats and dogs.

Last year, the first cat beauty pageant was held, and the cat from Guangzhou City won the first place.

This year's dog competition is about to be held. Everyone is expressing their opinions and canvassing for votes for their favorite dogs.

Dahuang has been very unhappy recently because he failed in the first district selection. Damn it, Lin Gui tried to coax him for three days but failed. It seems that the dog also cares about his popularity.

I don’t know who told the dogs about the beauty pageant. This is just a competition between humans, how could it spread to the dog world?

Little did they know that Dahuang and the others didn't know that he just felt that he was no longer the most popular one in the base and the community. Was it because he was getting old? He felt that he no longer had the glory he once had.

It's time to step down, eh, Dahuang thought to himself, and walked out three days later because Lin Gui wanted to take him out to play. His career had stabilized, and Lin Gui also wanted to enjoy the changes in the city.
