The farmer had not been notified, and now there will be two trials, one civil and one criminal, as the damage must be precisely quantified . The 40-year-old works as a laborer, and the flooded field was discovered last August. The hunter had managed to open the floodgates of the irrigation canals , permanently ruining the crop. When reporting the incident to the police, the 56-year-old did not provide any names, as he did not suspect anyone of such an act.
The surveillance footage was crucial in identifying the culprit. The perpetrator's justification was incredible: he didn't think he'd done anything wrong and explained that the ducks would have approached more easily if they saw a body of water . The farmer was forced to clean up the field and will now submit an invoice for the work done, specifically the diesel fuel used to power a pump.
