The owner of the slain cock collects 100 thousand signatures asking “for” for: The Killer Receives Symbolic Punishment

Rooster named Marcel from Ardech was shot dead in May by an angry neighbour of his noisy song.

Sebastien Verney, the owner of the turkey named Marcel, then started a petition asking for “justice” for it. Since then he has collected nearly 100,000 signatures, writes the BBC, translates Periscopi.

The neighbor, meanwhile, was found guilty of cruelty to animals and other perpetrators.

Along with his suspension sentence, he was fined 300 euros and banned from carrying the gun for three years.

This will not pay for what I did,” said Mr. Verney for the AFP news agency.

In the petition, he speaks of the terrible “tragedy” that happened to his family.

“Who will be the next victim? Bottle turtles, wheat harvest, tomato increase, donkey's palm, the sound of our bells, do we feed our cows?

This is not the first time a turkey's murder has traveled through the cover of the news in France.

Last year, a French court ruled in favour of a turkey owner after this cock's song had caused sound pollution according to his neighbors.

This turkey named Maurice died in June at age 6. Comfort the owner!
