The father and son were fined 3,000 pounds (nearly 100 million) for leaving the house too dirty, causing rats to come and affect the neighbors.
The neighborhood in the county of Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England has long had a lot of people complaining about the strange appearance of rats.

It was their huge garbage dump that attracted the rats.
The government asked the father and son to immediately deal with that huge pile of garbage, but because they were too lazy, they hesitated to comply. Until March 2021, environmental health staff continued to urge but no change.
The stubbornness and stubbornness of William and his son caused the government to sue their whole family to court. In the end, the court fined them more than 3,000 pounds for intentionally polluting the environment and resisting law enforcement.
Councilor Stephen Watson, health and environment committee emphasized the importance of protecting the environment:
“We will thoroughly deal with this and similar cases. Penalties can be monetary warnings or even jail time.
At the same time, the court ordered the father and son to clean up the giant dump within 28 days.

“That dump is a magnet for mice, flies, and dozens of other filthy creatures.”
Even the landfill is so big that people can see it with Google Maps.
Explaining the reason why the house was turned into such a huge garbage dump, the father and son explained that now they are no longer there, but the house has become a boarding house for many other people, that’s why. such an overwhelming amount of new waste.
