webfact Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Rayong officials search for missing crocodiles RAYONG, Oct 4 - Officials in this eastern Thai province are searching for several missing crocodiles which escaped from a flood-hit farm. Pramote Chanthamit, president of Nonglalok Sub-District Organisation in Rayong province, said a flash flood inundated a crocodile farm belonging to Paiboon Yongchaihirun. Mr Pramote said floodwater broke the pond and the farm owner told him that four baby crocodiles were missing. The official said the sub-district administration dispatched a disaster-response unit to search for the animals and two were found after being reported by local villagers. He said the first was 1.5 metres long, and another was 70 centimetres in length. Mr Pramote said he believes two missing crocodiles are adult, and instructed the authorities to remain alert and continue searching for the missing reptiles.

His wife / gf probably bought loads of those croc shoes. Think the guy was joking. Last year during the flooding 2 2m+ crocs were caught 4km from our home (was flooded too) and we waded through the water every day. Scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then close the whole thing down, <deleted>! Its just too expensive to build real good enclosures.. why make it real good for something that does not happen much. That is the mindset here. I am also no real thai basher.. but something are just crazy here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then close the whole thing down, <deleted>! there was a flood, . could happen anywhere No it very couldn't happen everywhere! This is not the first time and I bet we even haven't heard about every case. But here is my question: IF you have a crocodile farm AND many floods, shouldn't your crocodile enclosures than be FLOODSAFE? What excuse is "it could happen everywhere"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lubbkis Posted October 4, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2012 Are they going to offer 1000 baht reward per croc captured by civilians alive like they did last year? Won't Australians pay more than this in restaurants for crocodile meat? Then there's the skin products... If the previous "owners" can't arrange to keep them properly maybe they should become the property of those brave enough to hunt them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrysteve Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Well this is a good hunt...2 of the most deadly animals on this earth...one being human and one being a very reptilian predator. It should be a good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bindholt Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Let the poor creatures be. Remember: crocodiles were here first. Siamese crocodile and saltwater crocodile are (or at least was) native to this country. Also it ads some excitement to paddling the old river. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
