Apparently there's only one thing to do when a snake eats six of your farm animals: fire up the grill.

That's what Trevor Bounds did after he went outside to check on six guinea fowl at his family farm in Oklahoma one night and, instead, found that a six-foot-long snake had eaten them all whole, KFOR reports.

'It was pretty dark and I grabbed my phone to open the flashlight and I'm face-to-face with a big, old snake,' Bounds told the station.

Bounds soon saw the reptile slithering over to the next cage, eyeing the family dog, Bailey. He caught the snake before it could reach the pooch's cage and measured the animal.

He said he was irritated that the snake ate the guineas so, he fired up the grill.

'For eating my guineas, I ate him,' Bounds told NBC.

Bounds said he bought the guineas for flea and tick control and the cage where they were eaten was just their temporary home.

Though the snake is no longer a problem for Bounds, his wife, and their young son, the family is urging everyone to be alert and on the lookout for snakes during the summer months, KFOR reports.

As for the Bounds family, they lost six guineas but ended up with a pretty good meal, according to Bounds.
