Such a poor creature! Maybe it was just trying to get some food, miss its steps and got drowned inside the drum at the side of the house.
Since I wasn't interested in preparing its meat for consumption, I had to call my eldest sister, whom I'm residing with as a guest, whether to throw it away or give it to one of her neighbours. She contacted the neighbour and he came for it.

Here's something, just maybe that creature's life wouldn't have ended this way if the land close by was not cleared out for farming by this very neighbour we gave this drowned giant rat to. Reason being these so-called " Rabbits" used to feed on the food, meat, fish left overs that will occasionally throw into that bushy land. And the habitat loss has also affected their primary & other food sources.
So we had to stop throwing over degradable food wastes when they started cultivating the piece of land.

Well, I'm sure it will be fit for consumption and hopes our neighbour's wife who happens to smoke fish for a living gives this Rattus a proper barbeque. 😋😋😁
