Chef-owner Willin Low fears for his cat after 3m-long python devours neighbour’s chicken, Singapore News

The early fowl may well catch the worm, but what if the worm was a snake alternatively?

Superstar chef Willin Low’s neighbour seems to have identified the respond to to this the challenging way currently.

Early this morning (April 13), Small responded to his neighbour’s connect with for assist and observed that his neighbour’s pet hen had been partially swallowed by a 3m-long python.

“Early chook catches the worm, but kena eaten by a snake,” chef Very low wrote on his Instastory post.

Though Small, 50, seems light-hearted in his Instastory posts about the incident, he is not with no his fears.

“My largest issue about snakes is this just one,” he reported, referring to his cat.

The Animal Worries Analysis and Schooling Society (Acres) advised AsiaOne that they experienced attended to a get in touch with about this snake now.

“As it experienced eaten a chicken, our rescue workers experienced to be very careful to be light with the snake so that it does not regurgitate the rooster,” Acres mentioned, introducing that the snake was safely retrieved but the hen could not be saved.

In Low’s Instastory, we can see Acres volunteers manually taking away the python from the ditch and then putting it in a massive blue container.

Lower, an ex-lawyer-turned-chef, is the chef-operator of Wild Rocket Team with famed restaurants Relish and Roketto Mod-Sin Izakaya less than its brand name.

Small, who lives in a a two-storey terrace dwelling with his 82-calendar year-aged mother, even gave this 3m-lengthy python the nickname ‘Pedro’.

According to Very low, he encountered a similar incident a thirty day period in the past with a smaller python nicknamed ‘Penelope’ which was subsequently taken by Acres.

Low’s concerns about his cat’s safety are likely legitimate. 

Last January, a pair that moved to Singapore from Australia was horrified to find out a 3m-long python wrapped all over their pet Pomeranian, swallowing their dog’s head.

A local community cat in Jurong West also faced the very same fate when another 3m-lengthy python devoured it in advance of retreating to a close by drain.

“Snakes like reticulated pythons are element of our local fauna,” Acres added. “They are mild animals who only turn out to be defensive when provoked. If the public see any wild animals in distress, do get in touch with the Acres 24-hour wildlife rescue hotline at 97837782.”

NParks also warns from approaching or dealing with snakes when encountered in the wild, primarily if the snake is in its natural habitat.
