A 20-year-old man from Serenje in Zambia has been sentenced to 15 years in jail with hard labor by the Kabwe High Court for having sexual intercourse with a chicken.

The man, whose name is Philip Chibuye, was found guilty of the offense after a thorough investigation and trial.

The sentence has sparked controversy and disbelief among members of the local community, with some calling for leniency and others advocating for stricter punishment.

The case has also raised questions about the treatment of animals and the consequences of animal abuse.

The man is expected to serve his sentence at a prison in the Kabwe area.
