For abroad, it means you killed a living thing and you’ll be jailed
People kill rodent pests on their farms frequently in Australia and USA , rodents and feral pigs are fair game in most countries. UK and Ireland being an exception to that generally

Nutria rats and hogs are hunted year round, deer and other animals have a seasonal limit and tags

That's not a rabbit. More like a giant grass cutter.

The giant pouched rat was only living its innocent life. You should rather have been accused of 'terrorism' for killing it.

Good afternoon my people..
I have a yam farm, I don't know if I ve created a thread about it before but I did plant some yams about 100 seedlings just for eating at workplaces cos we staffs have access to the vast virgin uncultivated lands.
I planted them March this year and I found out that rodents has been uprooting and eating some of them, I complained to an older colleague and he suggested I set trap. As God would have it I went to check the trap and one of them caught this huge male giant rat. Somebody shout hallelujah.
This one supposed go well with unripe plantain pepersoup 🤔 but am thinking of giving it to the colleague that suggested the trap, how una see am.
God bless him
Mode pls help me out it to FrontPage for wider audience plzzzzzzz
Innocent rat that prayed to god "give us our daily bread yam" and god answered.
Now you just murdered it for no good reason.
Can't you help to feed other creatures that can't produce food for themselves?
Re: I've Finally Caught The 'Terrorist' Destroying My Yams (Photos) by BigYash: 6:12pm On Sep 18
It's male o. Very big brokus right there..

Ome day for the thief ,one day for the owner. It's a win win for you.. Give it to the guy who suggested the trap idea. You will catch more.. Get the iron trap for more catch.. You might even catch grass cutter if you start using that iron trap

It's easy..
Just look for a cable wire, stores that sells farm implements have them.
The wires are of various sizes depending on the animal intended for. the one for antelope is much more thicker in diameter than this one.
Once you ve the wire you look for a strong stick as you can see from the image up there, you tie one end to the stick and the there end there's a way we twist it round to enable the head of the rodent fit in.. meanwhile at the top of that stick we have the bait, either akara or roasted corn with you'll attach firmly. The stick is down at least digged into the soil (it should be strong enough to hold the animal) Once the animal climbs to get the bait, it will want to pass through the cable, once it heads fits it it's over, it will get suspended if it trys to jump down and escape.just. try as much as possible to make the cable short so that the rodent once caught will be suspended cos if it's too long and it's feet gets to the ground it will bite off the wire and escape.
I hope this my lame explanation helps

That rat is huge. Peppersoup don sure. I wanted to suggest getting a cat, but a fully grown cat would run away from such animal.
Re: I've Finally Caught The 'Terrorist' Destroying My Yams (Photos) by netmillionaires(m): 7:42pm On Sep 18
Thanks for the attempt to explain it. But my head didn't catch it. I am still wondering why the rat will opt to pass through the hole and not somewhere else.

You can make a video when setting the trap again. Sorry for the inconvenience. Or do a close up images of important part of the setup like the wire hole and how it is attached to the stick

Nice one. You're a good man with beautiful heart. God's blessings will locate you in multiple folds

Re: I've Finally Caught The 'Terrorist' Destroying My Yams (Photos) by netmillionaires(m): 7:45pm On Sep 18
Even if they cook such meat, it will be declare as special meat soup.
Bush meat pepper soap.
African rabbit pepper soup.
Crocodile meat pepper soup
Snake meat pepper soup.

This is because they are considered special meat and are usually expensive.
