Three children from a village in Samburu county killed a puppy and roasted its meat to subdue the hunger pangs they were enduring.

As reported by Nation.Africa, the trio who were left alone at home nabbed the animal earlier this week after their pleas for food to their parents fell on deaf ears.

Area Chief Tony Lesokoyo confirmed the incident, stating that they cooked the meat in an open fire.

“The children were alone at home when they decided to roast and eat a puppy after telling their parents that they were in dire need of food,” said Lesokoyo.
