12 jailed in east China for injecting water into cattle

A Chinese court has imprisoned 12 people for injecting water into cattle before slaughter to increase their weight and make more profit.

They were sentenced to between six months and two years for manufacturing and selling fake goods between March 2014 and May 2014, according to Rui'an People's Court in east China's Zhejiang Province on Thursday afternoon.

The fraudsters, who owned a beef shop, were accused of injecting water into more than 100 cattle via a pipe through the animals' noses to their stomachs before they were slaughtered, according to the court.
