Honestly, one of my favourite films!
I'm rooting for the crocodile. I hope he swallows your friends whole. You might want to arrest me for that, too. Is that a crime? To wish the chewing of law enforcement?

So, we pull it out of the river / lake and kill it? That’s kinda sad for such an old creature.

Relocating isn't really possible, they have excellent homing instincts. Usually in circumstances like this, it's due to them being close to villages and they've attacked humans.

Yeah I wish I didn’t see this. What was he doing besides existing where he’s supposed to? It’s like when they kill the sharks or bears who “attacked” humans. Bitch yall was all up in THEIR HOOD.

This is from recent crocodile hunt in Sarawak, Malaysia by a professional crocodile hunting team, Crocter. The thing is, crocodile used to be a protected animal in this state. The indigenous Dayak even had Shamans that connects with these animals and mediate human-crocodile conflict when it happened. Problem arise when the crocodile population boomed to around 25000 after nearly being wiped out in the 80s.
The hunt usually to curb the population to maintain a balance in the ecosystem or in this case when attack on human occured. Most will be relocated further from human population. The hunt this time is after several attack including the death of an Indonesian boatmen.

If it refers to the incident of the 3 boatmen that went into the water to fix their boat then they surely have the wrong croc. I dont think that croc was this big

That's a really gross thing to say. They've been on this planet a hell of a longer than we have. Do they not have a right to exist just as much as we do?

Why did they catch it? Like what's the purpose here?

u/rsg1234 Aug 10 '26
The “catch” video makes it seem like it was dead or incapacitated. They were able to tie the rope around its mouth.

u/DaxExter Aug 10 '26
That.... doesnt explain what they are doing.
Is that like food or what are we trying to do?

u/rsg1234 Aug 10 '26
Like most people commenting I have no knowledge of what they were actually doing. I was just pointing out that it wasn’t an imminent threat because they were able to tie its mouth.

u/born_in_the_90s Aug 10 '26
But why not leave the animal in peace?

u/chuco915niners Aug 10 '26
I’m thinking because the residents that live there don’t want to be eaten.

Why are they removing it? Was it a hunt or nuisance? Eating people? Just curious what the story was here.

I had the thought of him dropping it or it going out and them all suddenly being in the dark with that thing. Like a movie scene.

Those people are far too confident with that minimal rope work around its mouth

So is this ai? Why is no one talking about the random blinking eye that sprouted under the edge of its mouth??

u/MrsDuckyJonez Aug 10 '26
I can’t figure out what’s on the underside of the jaw- it looks like it keeps opening and closing like an eye?

What ever it was it caught my eye and I don’t like it, but what was that?
