Brian Watson tells of his ordeal since killing a masive pregnant rat in the North East of England, but insists he did the right thing.
After killing it, the grandfather tried to
scoop it up with a paddle - but it was so heavy that the paddle
broke.
The incident first came to light when Mr Watson's friend, Bri Mitchell, posted a picture of the rodent after it had been caught, on Twitter.
Mr Watson said: 'We left it for a few days, but word got round so we decided to destroy it and we chucked it on the fire and got rid of it that way.'
The RSPCA is seeking further information on the incident from members of the public.
A spokesman for the charity said: 'We would urge anyone with more information about this incident to contact our cruelty line and we will look into it further.'
Durham Police said today that they are not currently investigating the killing of the animal
