The ferret started off his killing spree on 687 south in Mt. Pleasant, Utah at about 3pm. He
found a place to stay and watched the chickens for about 2 days. In the
middle of the third day he instantly struck Laurie’s chickens. He
killed 3 of her chickens. She ran out of the house trying to stop him,
but he’s so tough, even hitting him and yelling at the top of her lungs
did even scare him, or make him look up at her. It was crazy. She
watched as all of her chickens were cruelly killed. She has lived there
only like 5 or 6 years and has already had 8-10 chickens killed by
animals. States Laurie: “He was so cute and cuddly looking. I wanted to
catch him and keep him as my pet, before he killed all my animals.”
After he finished her chickens off, he came up to 700 south. He had killed another rooster now, at my house. The resident that lived at that house
ran and yelled at him. She threw a rock at him and he ran
away. Eventually he killed her mom’s rabbit, and her favorite duck,
Aflack. He also attempted to kill all of her chickens too, but the
family got him out by smacking him on the back with a metal pipe. They
reportedly said he was a very big challenge for them and caused great stress, while he was alive. The resident living there was 5
inches away from him that same day with the gun pointed in his face, and
he was nice to her. She went to pull the trigger, and it wouldn’t work. She was angry, because she was out in just
her socks and it was muddy. The resident's dad said, “That little
jerk got what he deserved!”
The
dad and daughter went to the hardware store and bought an animal trap.
She baited it with peanut butter and hamburger. The clever little guy
somehow got the food out without getting trapped. That night, she
accidentally to found a dead mouse that had eaten D-con, in their kitchen.
She had an idea to put peanut butter on that dead mouse and put it in
the trap. Her brother, Wesley, had also been shooting him all night,
with a bb gun, because he was after their baby rooster. Wesley hit him
10 times in the head with pellets. The ferret didn’t
like it at all. The ferret ended up killing the baby rooster, but between the dead d-con mouse and the bbs to the head, the ferret was stone dead by morning. Everyone in the neighborhood were all thankful when he was dead. A resident later commented about the incident by saying, “You know
what , he didn’t even eat the animals, he left them for dead."
