A crocodile killed an Indonesian man -- so his village slaughtered nearly 300 crocodiles

[Devil Child]

Source: The Washington Post

The villagers killed adult crocodiles nearly seven feet long and pulled hatchlings from nests, bashing them against the ground until they stopped moving.

As many as 40 police officers tried to stop the killings, the Daily Mail reported, but the crowd had swelled to 600 and could not be stopped.

snip...

In total, the villagers killed 292 crocodiles.

When every reptile was dead, they dragged them into a giant, bloody pile, then took selfies.

10. The victim wandered into a sanctuary

The crocodiles were just being crocodiles.

8. 9 billion chickens are slaughtered every year

That never seems to bother too many people.

9. When chickens can grab a child and drag them underwater

and then rip them apart for eating - then I will agree with you. Otherwise, I would defer to those people who have to live with reptiles that can kill them. How they handle them is their prerogative.

12. Are chickens protected species? Are mobs forming to slaughter chickens for vengeance?

13. the croc killing spree was stupid

But it's frankly nothing compared to humans raising, killing and eating intelligent, social animals like pigs.

Humans kill one billion pigs every year.

14. False equivalencies seem not to bother too many people either.

They do seem to bother the rational, though.

Imagine.
