I feel bad for any animal in a turd world zoo. See the current hippo story in El Salvador.

I fear crocodiles quite a bit, but this animal did not deserve that.

I think if you're caught doing this, you go in the enclosure with the animal.

How was this able to happen in a zoo? These people should get prison time for this.

It's in Tunisia. The average people there have 0 respect for animals. It happens all the time, this is just the first time one has died.

Zoos and aquariums in third world countries usually have stupid people abusing the animals for their own entertainment

I disagree.We are self aware and in 75% of the cases humans don't need to kill an animal.Unless it's 1. There job or 2.They actually 1/2
willzyx1980
Animals don't just kill for food. For example there's this rare, exotic animal known as a "housecat." Nature is fascinating.
BlueToast
They kill by there animal like nature and to give as gifts. We are above house cats. Or are you saying we are not?
willzyx1980
No, the guy I responded to is the one arguing that humans are the worst. You know, the person whose comment you are defending?
whothefucksasking
Lol as if humans are the only animals that are self aware...
BlueToast
To get them to move in a fucking zoo
BlueToast
Were not, but of the few that are, we are the most advanced so we should be above other animals and only kill for food we need and not 1/2

I'm not vegan. In a different comment I stated that it is ok to kill if it's your job

So you're saying the vegan is arguing that animals aren't self aware? You're insult makes so sense

halfmexicanhalfamazing
Zoos are archaic and inhumane and should be banned
MooseTraxxx
Why are there large rocks available to be thrown at the zoo?
UncivilCivilEngineer
Are you f'ing kidding me. Are trying to make out like the zoo is at all responsible for doucebag actions, wow. Walls are made out of stone.
MooseTraxxx
If you remove the opportunity, then douchebags can't do shit. Calm your tits man
UncivilCivilEngineer
you can not remove every oppurtunity, that would be like pulling out every tree on the planet so a car can't happen to hit it. 1/2
UncivilCivilEngineer
Look at that "rock" it is actually a peice of paver ripped out of a wall or from the sidewalk. How does one build a zoo with no concrete?
UncivilCivilEngineer
And no I will not calm my tits, it is this kind of thinking that excuses shitty behavior all over the globe, how about people just be decent
BlankhasdiedofDysentery
Stuff like this is common in third world zoos(and China). They want to force the animals to move.
prismbear
I don't want to live on this planet anymore
Rifneno
Pretty sure China IS 3rd world. 1st/2nd/3rd world just refers to the country's alignment during the cold war. 1st = NATO, 2nd = Warsaw
KatsuVohlakari
As far as I know the 1/2/3 rating refers to the grade of industrialization/progress/technology.
Rifneno
Pact, 3rd = N/A. China was communist but they didn't get along well with the Soviets, so...
willzyx1980
You are correct. I'm not sure why anyone would downvote you.
BlankhasdiedofDysentery
Because he's referring to the old cold war definition and not the current one.
willzyx1980
Which is what exactly? A developing country? China is a developing country.
BlankhasdiedofDysentery
It refers to their economy.

OMFG
IRegistered
I could understand, if not condone, this if you stumbled on a croc in the wild. Fear is a strong emotion. But in a zoo? Fucking douchebags.
Sorrytodisappoint
You're not defending yourself with a piece of rubble even in the wild. If you see a croc you run away and survive easily. Senseless death.
HypnoChanger
Or walk away. They don't like to give chase on land most of the time.
Cereaza
I mean... If there's a croc on your property or hanging around your property, it's an apex predator that needs to get removed. Zoo? booo
ChrisTallant
My thought exactly!
bigerrors
You could understand doing that in the wild? You mean when you entered its territory? Boy it's only an animal doing animal things....
PeteButtigieg
It's territory. Where does it's territory begin and mine end? Isn't it all everyone's territory?
bigerrors
And yes its territory. I guess you've never lived by crocs. Cities will post signs saying no swimming.
bigerrors
And plus, it's like you're going to see a fucking croc driving on the highway or fucking running down the street.
IRegistered
Do you know what it means to "not condone" something? I would not do, nor allow it to happen if I could stop it. Understanding is different
stopitlucas
Right? I wouldn't want to hurt a croc in the wild but if I stumbled into one I'd shit a brick
Adato88
And then throw said brick at the croc?
stopitlucas
Well, maybe...If I was carrying a brick.
ilikethewayyoumove
What a bunch of cunts
toby516
Well if the croc isn't doing anything when you found it then no it isn't ok
IRegistered
I didn't say it was okay. In fact I said I didn't condone it. I said I could at least understand that motivation.

VladTheInhaler1
You should definitely do it if you're in the wild, your life should be above other animals. But in a zoo, the thing was contained.
TheAngryMarineBiologist
It's a crocodile. This really isn't the best reaction in any given situation, short of it already having bitten you
OriginalAnathema
What you SHOULD be doing is paying attention to your surroundings so it doesn't get that far.
thebluebox69
I agree that your life should be above other animals, but I'd like to give the same advice to the rest of the animals
0111010001110010011101010110110101110000
you see a croc in the wild, decides to throw a rock at it, pisses it off and then it decides to fuck you up. don't throw rocks at crocks.
draco91
You should do what you can to avoid conflict, but defend yourself if necessary.
stja
I'll see how well you explain pacifism to the next apex predator you chance upon.
Ishalldefenestrateyou
I am not going to win a fight against any apex predator. Best not to piss it off. I'll fight tooth and nail if one comes at me.
draco91
incapacitate it quickly.
draco91
It's not like predators are out to eat humans. Be smart, use your brain to avoid conflict and dangerous situations but be prepared to defend
draco91
yourself. Plus, trying to kill a predator that isn't about to attack you could make the situation worse should you fail to kill or
Kougeru
I disagree depending on the animal. Endangered or at risk animals, you should let eat you. Your own fault for being in that area.

rando53
What makes you think your life is any more important than another creature's? You sound like a sociopath.
1jess1ripper1
So, you should let yourself die if you are in a dangerous situation (actual danger not just sighting a dangerous animal from afar)?
rando53
Why would you be in a dangerous situation with an animal to begin with?
TheDarkNerd
Because Florida and Australia are both places that exist in our world.
1jess1ripper1
I've been attacked by a goat and multiple roosters, shit happens in the animal world. Say you're hiking and you stumble across a mother bear
IRegistered
If you see a croc, there's most likely much easier ways to avoid this outcome. Typically on land, they're uninterested in anything but sun.
VladTheInhaler1
I know that about crocodiles. I'm from Florida, and they're common as fuck. But they are kind of assholes.

The ones I've been around seem to run on the exact same software as a common green anole, just bigger.
