A PA Game Commission officer holds dead serval. The Pennsylvania Game Commission has confirmed that a Chester County farmer killed a serval---an exotic, African cat that resembles a small cheetah----Tuesday night because it was killing chickens in his coop. Under state law, a farmer has the authority to kill an animal to protect his livestock, according to the commission, which has opened an investigation regarding the lawful ownership of the animal.
The game commission regulates exotic species in Pennsylvania, many of whom are obtained and owned illegally as pets. Mountain lions, wolves and wolf hybrids are the most common. For an indepth look at exotics in PA, read the following story.
