A 65-year-old man named Zhang has been sentenced to 4 years in prison in China's first case regarding "infringement of pets' right to life" after poisoning nine dogs in a residential area.

Thai, 30, who keeps a 7 kg pet iguana, sustained a severe bite to his left hand while playing with the animal, requiring 16 stitches.

Identified by cameras, the thief was apprehended within hours but refused to disclose the hiding spot of 170 gold jewelry items until police discovered unusual dog barking.
