Blessed To Have Each Other In This Life

Mu Zi took a deep breath.

Maybe it was because she became easily emotional when she was pregnant. In this court trial, her emotions fluctuated a bit, a little impetuous.

Mu Zi pursed his lips and spoke slowly again: "More than 100 countries in the world have enacted the Law on Prohibition of Cruelty to Animals-

In Germany, injuring animals will be fined, and criminal responsibility may be pursued in serious cases, with a maximum sentence of 3 years in prison;

In Canada, the maximum penalty for cruelty to animals is 5 years in prison;

In Japan, indiscriminate killing and arbitrary harm to animals are punishable by imprisonment of less than one year and a fine of 1 million yen;

There is also the Russian Civil Code. Article 137 stipulates that cruel treatment of animals in violation of the principles of humanity is not allowed. In the issue of compensation for animal victims, attention should be paid to the value of the animal’s life and not simply based on the market value of the animal. Define the compensation standard. "

...Life value.

The word passed through Mu Zi's heart, leaving a trace of suffocation.

Animal protection laws are a major trend worldwide, but unfortunately, this part is still in a blank area in Huaya. Mentioning the laws of other countries, although it has a guiding effect, also shows the biggest key point of this case-there is no relevant law to support it.

Mu Zi looked at the members of the jury, and the faces in front of him seemed to be moved, but how long can this touch last?

When they leave here, go back to the closed jury room and have a heated argument, maybe reason will gradually gain the upper hand...

"Everyone, I..." Mu Zi hesitated for a moment, with a deep tone, "I don't have to stay in jail for seven or eight years. I just think that after such an extreme event, someone must... Responsible, our trial is meaningful."

Mu Zi returned to his position and sat down slowly.

In the silence, the defense lawyer stood up, looking very uncomfortable.

"I don't deny that Mr. Xu Lin killed an innocent puppy, very cruel and immoral." The lawyer said, "I also don't deny the prosecution's advocacy of animal protection, but I want to quote the prosecutor Situ A word the lady once said."

The lawyer glanced at Mu Zi and continued: "The court is not a place to treat social illnesses. At first, when Miss Situ defended the casino run by her husband, this sentence has always impressed me, and I think the same applies to this case. These psychologically distorted and pathological people who treat animal cruelty as stress venting! Disgusting! I hate them too! But are they guilty?"

The lawyer's gaze slowly shifted from the faces of the jury members.

"You know, I also know, we all know that this kind of behavior is immoral, but it's not guilty! Because we don't have any law to find this kind of behavior guilty! Maybe someday, there will be an increase in animal protection laws, but that It’s the future, not the present!"

The lawyer paused briefly and smiled slightly. "Miss Situ said earlier that she didn't intend to pay attention to the case. Later, she saw the dog's owner and changed her mind. I couldn't help asking, why is this?

Is it sympathy? Ah... Omnipotent compassion, can our compassion be above the law?

I may seem cold-blooded when I say this, but please imagine if the old lady’s pet was a mouse or... a cockroach, would Miss Situ still stand here and shout for the so-called animal protection? "

Having said that, the lawyer smiled and looked at Mu Zi: "This is hypocritical, isn't it?"

He turned around and looked at the jury again: "The so-called equality of life is just a joke. When we were here to condemn the defendant's behavior because of a dog, how many cows, sheep, chickens and ducks were slaughtered in the world? Is anyone accused of this? The urban management department regularly Is it illegal to capture stray cats and dogs for centralized processing? Is the defendant?"
