A farmer and her friends managed to stop a python but only after the snake swallowed 42 of her chickens at a farm in Menghai county, Yunnan province.

Yu Ladan went to feed her chickens on Monday morning when she realized the long snake was feeding on her livestock.

Yu called her husband who came with five villagers and they spent 30 minutes trying to capture the python. They turned it over to the wild animal protection center since it's a protected animal.
