Crocodile eats an old man in Agusan del Sur
 |
| The floating community in the Agusan Marsh. |
The local gov't was permitted by the Protected Areas and Wildlife Division (PAWD) to set a trap after receiving series of reports that crocodiles are preying on carabaos in the area.
PAWD reminds the locals also that crocodiles are also declared protected animals. Hurting it is against the law.
I have been planning to visit to Bunawan,Agusan Del Sur specifically in the Agusan Marsh. The floating community there gives me a rush of excitement to take photos of the vast waterlilies floating on a lake with this floating community.
But, after what had happened, I don't think if I still can manage to visit a place where crocodiles are just around. No one knows. In 2009, crocodiles bumped the boat and attacked the students while on their way to their floating school at Minaba Lake,Agusan.
There is just a big question on my mind. Why does PAWD protect crocs.In my opinion, crocs are the cancers of the society. They attack and kill living things. That is why, we eliminate crocodile in politics because they are dangerous in the society.
Whatever the reason why there is a protection to crocs, I still don't get the logic.
Mayor Elorde said they will keep the crocodile because this will somehow boost tourism in Bunawan,Agusan. My question is TOURISM or LIFE?
If you don't agree with me please enlighten my mind.
Hi. I just want to correct your stated unit of measurement. It is feet and not meters. Also, it was believed to be a female croc but when it was checked by the Croc experts, it came out to be a male.
ReplyDeletethere is a need to protect them because they are part of us. and that we are a part of nature.
ReplyDeletethere is unrest in the area.. because humans have not been keeping their "pact" as promised.
since you have angst against crocs.. i suggest you don't go there. since they might sense it. when you go there you need to be in a loving space to keep you protected from the unrest.
place is currently cursed because of the decline of the rituals made by shamans. we still need to make peace with nature.
such ignorant statements of exterminating crocs can be likened to a Hitler wanting to kill em Jews because only the Aryans are perfect.
may you be more enlighted.
love and light to you,

ReplyDeleteAre these shamans and aryans for real? Do they exist?
shamans have been part of our culture a long long time. they are the people who can bridge the caretakers of the earth..
ReplyDeletemost legends were just subjected to myth.. because they cant comprehend the vastness/intelligence of the past.thus Aryans and other "myths".
i can't really tell you all about it. its gonna form a part of your quest.
