Kieran Sampler, 29, has been a professional rat catcher for the past 10 years and has killed an estimated 50,000 rats in his career - but he's now receiving death threats
A professional rat catcher has been getting lots of mean messages and threats because of his job. Kieran Sampler, 29, made a Facebook page called Yorkshire Rat Pack to share his work and help other rat catchers.
But Kieran, who has caught about 50,000 rats, doesn't let the messages bother him. He just shrugs them off.Someone from Scotland even called him and said threatening things, but Kieran didn't take it seriously. He gets lots of messages but he just ignores them, reports the Mirror. Kieran, who started the Yorkshire Rat Pack Facebook page, now runs his own business called Vermicure Pest Control in South and West Yorkshire. He believes in treating animals well, even when it comes to rats that need to be controlled because they carry diseases.
He also said: "There's a lot of rats on farms and they can't have poison down because of the cattle, so that's when they call me. We go in with the terriers and that's the quickest method ever to be honest, it's only a couple of seconds and they are dead."
