Crazy sociopath fails to provide light for his livestock

Now I believe in the proper treatment of animals, but then again I'm no member of PETA. But when i read that Mr. Norcliffe, an Enlglish farmer was fined £150 for insufficiant barn lighting, I start to think that cops have nothing to do in England.

When Mr. Norcliffe received a visit from DEFRA, they asked him where he was planing on keeping his cows for the winter. Norcliffe presented the barn below his house to be his usual haven for his livestock, but according to DEFRA, the barn lacked adequite "natural" light. Norcliffe was then fined £150 and an aditional £65 after 2 followup visits which proved he had done nothing about it.

My conclusion? If your living in England, make sure you keep your lights on, or else your getting charged £150 for leaving Lassie out in the dark.
