The 35 year old man said the plants had been grown to give shade for his roosters.
A 35 year old man from Alcalá de Guadaira in Sevilla, named with the initials M.P.M. who told the court that he had grown a 1000 square metre plantation of cannabis to give shade to his cockerels, has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison.

The written sentence from the court dismissed the man’s claim and says that shade for 80 roosters would have been obtained from ‘any other shrub’.
