The origin of the proverb "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" is believed to come from Chinese culture. It highlights the use of fear or punishment as a method of maintaining control or discipline. While it conveys the power of making an example out of someone, it also serves as a reminder of the potential cruelty or unfairness in such tactics, as the punishment may not be proportional to the offense.
