Indonesian villagers kill nearly 300 crocodiles in revenge attack Indonesian villagers armed with knives, hammers and clubs slaughtered 292 crocodiles in revenge for the death of a man killed by a crocodile at a breeding farm, an official said. Photographs released by Antara news agency showed bloodied carcasses of the crocodiles in a large pile in the Sorong district of the eastern Indonesian province of West Papua. The head of Indonesia’s Natural Resources Conservation Agency in West Papua said that the 48-year-old victim had entered the crocodile farm and was likely picking grass for animal feed when he was attacked. “An employee heard someone screaming for help, he quickly went there and saw a crocodile attacking someone,” Basar Manullang said in a statement. After the burial of the man on Saturday, villagers entered the farm and killed all the crocodiles, said Manullang. Manullang said the farm had been given a licence to breed protected saltwater and New Guinea crocodiles in 2013 for preservation and also to harvest some of the animals.But one of the conditions was that the reptiles did not disturb the community, he said “To prevent this from happening again, farming licence holders need to secure surrounding areas,” said Manullang. He said his agency was coordinating with police in their investigation. “Crocodiles are god’s creatures that need to be protected too,” Manullang said. From my point of view, Due to lack of proper education and knowledge about wildlife, this incident occurred there, good government policy about conservation is the major solution for such kind of activates. Wild animals should reared in wild are, human-animal conflict can cause several loss of life. This is just a example, there are numerous case of human-animals conflicts, many human are killed by tigers, rhinos and other animals. Government of any country should provide incentives for family of victims. Before that government should ensure that animal and humans are in their own home safe and sound. Breeding centre for any animals should be far from human habitat. This was very brutal act by people, animal are unknown of anything, we must preserve and care them. “Save Animal” “Save World” “Together We Can” “Earth is home of every animal” source: https://thehimalayantimes.com/environment/indonesian-villagers-kill-nearly-300-crocodiles-in-revenge-attack/ |

Hello Deepak!
It's a pitiful situation. Both Crocodiles and human go through with this tragedy. It is so sad that people took action only in that way. We (people and all the other living things) live together in a same place. As you said, it needs to be protected. Both us, and them.:D (Like a Win-Win!) Animals in the wildness are more natural and considering is our obligaion to live together. Attacked by a savage beast is truly a miserable incident, but the way to stop reoccuring isn't revenging :(
Thank you for sharing!

Hello Deepak, I remember this article since our regional ambassador Bharat from Nepal reported this case in his article in late July, this year :)
You may see if you search it in our board, and as I said there, from the point of views of crocodiles, human beings are just one of many animals in their habitat and surroundings :(
We cannot judge them like 'murderers' since they do not have rationality up to standard of human beings.
However, it is afraid to see a man killed by crocodile since it is such a tragedy.
Thanks for sharing this news again, hoping to let other regional ambassadors think about this issue again!

It was indeed an unpleasant news as both human and animal like lifes were involved. Sincerely, your point of view is commendable and I hope such recommendation could be published.
Thanks for reporting.

Hey Deepak!
It is a true tragedy to see that so many species of crocodile were killed and it is also a true tragedy that a person was attacked and killed by a crocodile. I hope that special measure is taken into regard to this now that this attack took place. I remember an Ambassador also posted a similar article and I'm glad you resurfaced it because this is a tragedy that should never happen again!
Thank you for reporting!
