Thailand goes on crocodile alert
This is quoted from Thailand News Agency:
“Thailand’s Department of Fisheries Sunday warned that crocodiles bred in illegal reptile farms have been escaping from their confinement due to the floods encompassing much of the central provinces, and that the animals –unused to a natural environment — may look for food in all the wrong places.”
Floods, coups, martial law, a new constitution, a ban on alcohol advertising, a proposal to raise the legal drinking age to 25 and now Thailand’s central provinces are on crocodile alert.
The report continues: “Members of the public who see crocodiles at large should inform the authorities immediately, Mr. Charanthada, Fisheries Department director-general, advised.”
If the crocodiles find their way to Bangkok and I see them at large, I think my priority will be to run away.
