Carnivorous animals in Channel Islands -- who will treat them? (6)
I believe the answer is:
civets
'carnivorous animals' is the definition.
'channel islands who will treat them?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'islands' could be 'ci' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ci' is located in the answer.
'treat' could be 'vet' (vetting is a kind of treating) and 'vet' is found within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for civets that I've seen before include "'Cat-like animals, their musk is used in perfumes (6)'" , "Wild cats c" .)
