A Malaysian fruit grower had decided to use guard dogs to protect his orchard. Which would have been fine if the dogs hadn't kept disappearing. One after another the dogs would simply vanish. After the eleventh one disappeared, the man became a bit suspicious. That's when he found the culprit.
Ali Yusof, 35, who had lost 11 dogs in the past three months, found the python coiled at the edge of a swampy area near his orchard at Kampung Pogoh here.
He ran to inform other villagers.
"I was shocked to see such a huge python," he said. (Picture)
It took six men and three hours to capture the 70kg snake which measured 7.1 metres in length and 60cm in diameter. They tied it to a tree.
Ali said he had four dogs to guard his orchard, but for the past three months the canines had disappeared one after another, and he had to replace them. He suspected his guard dogs were being eaten by a beast after he found footprints of the dogs disappearing into a swampy area.
The men tied it to a tree. One has to ask if they used a boa knot……..
This is good news. It indicates factional violence within the Animal Conspiracy.
