Just read that a bloodthirsty mob of 'angry' villagers in Indonesian Papua went on a rampage at a crocodile sanctuary and killed all of the saltwater and Papuan crocodiles in captivity there,in revenge for a single crocodile killing a single villager. Sick mob overkill hysteria. What a tragedy!
There were more, but here are two I found. A crocodile killed an Indonesian man — so his village slaughtered nearly 300 crocodiles Angry mob slaughters nearly 300 crocodiles in Indonesia in revenge attack Edit: posted at the same time as Swampy, although we did manage to pick different articles.
It's sickening. Supposedly "one of the conditions was that the reptiles did not disturb the community", but the guy that was killed climbed into their enclosure. How the hell is that the crocs' fault?
This is the thing with predatory animals.When it occurs in the wild,on many occasions,if a single tiger,or a leopard,or a croc etc,kills a person,some idiots would want to go out free for all hunting on EVERY tiger,lion,bear,croc and such.. Overkill
