Desperate times call for desperate measures, so the saying goes. This is where residents of Kuresoi North have found themselves as they seek to protect their livestock from thieves.

While some resorted to selling their livestock rather than lose them to thieves, others are locking them up in the same houses they sleep in just to keep them away from rustlers.
