Hundreds of chickens have been found dead in east China - and a court has ruled that the cause of death was the screaming of a four-year-old boy who in turn had been scared by a barking dog.
The story says a bizarre sequence of events began when the boy arrived at a village home in the eastern province of Jiangsu in the summer with his father who was delivering bottles of gas, the Nanjing Morning Post reported on Wednesday.
A villager was quoted as saying the little boy bent over the henhouse window, screaming for a long time, after being scared by the dog.
