Wakki News The weird is fun
A Missouri man who is alleged to have illegally killed hundreds of deer over the last 10 years in a forest has been forced by a judge to watch Bambi animation movie series at least once a month while serving a one-year jail term for the crime.
Bambi movie is a classic story of a baby dear named Bambi released in 1942. It is the fifth in Walt Disney animated classics series.
David Berry Jr. was arrested with his father, David Berry asked brother Kyle Berry over the poaching crime but the judge singled out Berry Jr. to watch Bambi while in jail.
It’s not clear exactly how many deer David Berry and his two sons – David Berry Jr. and Kyle Berry – have poached in the forests of southern Missouri over the last nine years, but investigators suspect that the number reaches into the hundreds.
Reports have it that the three men hunted the defenceless animals mostly at night, cutting off their heads and antlers as trophies and leaving the bodies to rot where they fell. Although their cruel and illegal activities were financially motivated, police evidence suggests that cutting off the heads of the deer was mostly about satisfying the poachers’ personal egos. One of the twelve men accused in what has been described as one of the largest deer poaching cases in the history of Missouri will have to watch the Disney classic ‘Bambi’ repeatedly to hopefully realize the error of his ways.
According to court records obtained by the News-Leader, Lawrence County Judge, Robert George, ordered David Berry Jr. “to view the Walt Disney movie ‘Bambi,’ with the first viewing being on or before December 23, 2018, and at least one such viewing each month thereafter, during Defendant’s incarceration in the Lawrence County Jail.” He will be in jail for a year, so that’s at least 12 viewings.
Why the judge singled out Berry Jr. to watch the popular Disney animated movie is not exactly known, but judges are allowed to impose special conditions when issuing sentences, and sometimes they come up with pretty creative ideas. However, it’s hard to believe that after gruesomely killing hundreds of real deer, this poacher will be impressed by the death of a fictional character, and an animated one at that.
So if the intention is for Berry Jr. to love deer after being forcefully exposed to the Bambi series~q, that might be another thing altogether without any possible guarantees.
