Melvadius Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I love the advice at the end 'Animal safety experts warned people to stay indoors and stay away from the crocodiles' as if they will have much choice in the midst of flooding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingan Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I also got a feeling like "hmmm... 15.000 crocodiles are on the loose. Let's check my schedule for the day, hmmm. Play in the flooded park - scratch; shopping in the (under water) mall - scratch; stay inside - check." Seriously, no warning should be needed, at least nothing more than that they lost 15.000 crocodiles.. Rest should be self explanatory.

Melvadius Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I suppose that size of said escapees may also be a consideration - 14,999 fingerlings and one big one - gun optional extra buy more 'flit' instead or at least take big stick. 15,000 big ones move permanently away from river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldrail Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm amazed there are 15,000 crocodiles in one area. Escaped from a farm? Who pays for that lot to feed? Or can't he afford it anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or can't he afford it anymore? Me too actually, I mean, I know there are crocodile farms (I have visited one once) but 15.000... that is a lot. Isn't the population of most dangerous species in Africa far lower than that? Maybe they are (sort of) lucky that some people find their skin so good looking.

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 15,000 crocodiles escape from South African farm. This could be bad... It could be, but then again, crocodiles are serious cannibalists. I suppose you could also kill them and send the meat to the neigboring countries, who are seriously meat-starved.
