Armadillo Captured!

Saturday morning Ryan did his morning routine and checked our armadillo trap. He was excited to find his armadillo trapped inside! He didn't have time to deal with the killing right then. He had to go help clean up at the local peanut festival (aka---local white trash carnival). While he was gone, our neighbor, Tory, knocked on our door. He asked what Ryan's plans were for the armadillo. I told him that I have no idea what he has planned this time, but I am sure it was going be a slow painful death for the creature. Tory then told me that his "South American" employees that work for him want it. They wanted to take it home and eat it for dinner that night! I guess it is a common thing to eat where they are from. NASTY! They came and got the armadillo after work on Saturday. They were nervous to kill it in front of everyone (we were all watching to witness the killing) so they took it home in the trap and are going to bring the empty trap back on Monday! Bone Appetite!
