I raise local chickens on a small poultry farm in my compound.

For months, two cats (mother and son) have been disturbing me on my mini poultry farm. There was a particular night they killed 7 small chickens at a go. They don't even kill one and go, they break their necks one by one, and then come back to drag the dead bodies to their den.

We tried a big trap that hunters use for bush rat. It almost closed one of the cats in on the first night, but the cat, struggled out before the stuff shut. The cats never went near the trap again, even though we always use their best food as bait, fried fish.

After a while, we decided to start using poison at different points of the compound. I had given up hope till this morning. I was looking for something in our gen house and I saw one of the cats their (the son), laying there, breathing heavily. I couldn't believe my eyes. At a point, it had felt like we were never going to win with them, sort of like how Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer felt in the movie, The Ghost and the Darkness, where lions were terrorizing a community in Kenya in the movie.

Anyway, within an hour, it took its last breath. Too bad I can't give the OPC guys at my junction who tried to catch it with a cage. They would have eaten it, but with it dying of poison, they can't eat it.

Attached are some pics of the cat. The chickens gathered around, making loud noises as they watched the lifeless body of the cat that ate their children and siblings and tormented their life for many months.

They are useful in the ecosystem to control rats, snakes, lizards and other small animals.

Pls, what is the name of the poison u used?

You just lost money that's a hybrid of civet cat.

that cat could have been worth more than all your chickens.

Check the animal the op posted it has no resemblance of an African wild cat.

African wild cat has a line in its back and underback that line devide it into two parts

Second an African wild cat has three rings in it tail and have ONLY BLACK at the end of its tail.

The dentition of that cat is not an African wild cat.

No need less argument abeg ona don win.

Good for the cat
