What happen if I kill living stock (sheep, chicken, cow)?

I would like to know what happen if I kill living stock (sheep, cow, chicken).

In two scenario:

  • Someone see me kill their chicken (I shot arrow in the chicken in front of them)
  • Nobody see me killing thing (I kill sheep, cow when they are on the grassland and nobody nearby)

If someone sees you harming cattle, they will run/call for a guard, and you'll be fined/sent to jail. It's a very good way to lose during the prologue in Skalitz...

If noone sees you, you've just found living punching bags to improve you strength ! :-)

NB : I'm pretty sure that punching chickens does not trigger a guard call. But using a weapon to do so might though.
