Lite Beer Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Farm agrees to stop photos of kids with crocodilesThe Sunday NationCHIANG MAI: -- Education Ministry permanent secretary Suthasri Wongsaman yesterday ordered a probe into an allegation circulating on the Internet on Friday relating to a Chiang Mai kindergarten taking children on a field trip and allowing kids to get close to crocodiles for photographs without adult supervision.Suthasri said the ministry's inspector-general would visit the privately-run kindergarten to seek answers.Suthasri said Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC) chief Bandit Sriphutthangkul's initial enquiry with the school found that the field trip had taken place and kids had taken pictures with crocodiles. Bandit warned the school that it should not put children in harm's way even though a crocodile caretaker claimed it was safe.Suthasri's office and the OPEC would later discuss the guideline and regulations for student safety during field trips, he said.The Chiang Mai-based crocodile farm insisted the students were taking pictures with "well-trained" animals and there were crocodile caretakers present at the time. But the farm said later they would no longer allow children to be in photos with crocodiles. -- The Nation 2014-03-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Deerhunter Posted March 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2014 They never said they were going to stop kids getting close to crocodiles. Only stop taking those pesky pictures that people use as evidence of their stupidity. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) If you was able to ask a croc if it would rather live in the wild and hunt for its food or hang out in a croc farm and get fed by humans, what do you think it'd prefer?? The only SAFE way to make your croc handbag is from a farmed croc. Edited March 16, 2014 by Mole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepperMe Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 No crocs are 'trained'..... there is plenty of evidence out there where even the most expert croc handlers have been savaged by what they thought were 'trained' crocs. You can NOT train a crocodile, you can just keep them fed and docile. But they still have instincts that no human can turn off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fakename Posted March 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2014 What is wrong with kiddies and crocodiles? Every day, the kids are allowed to ride in "school buses" and mini vans, driven by idiots, so I see nothing wrong with getting a photo op with a croc or even a cobra. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post worgeordie Posted March 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2014 Life does not seem to have the same value as it does to normal people,from the way they drive recklessly,passing on a blind bend,no problem, make them loose face and they will shoot you.3 kids on back motor bike,no helmets, school bus pick ups with only a rear exit.now kids sitting on the backs of crocodiles ! its a different mentality. regards Worgeordie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circusman Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I see not one shred of evidence about the size of the crocs. Perhaps they were only newborns. You all jumped to conclusions. But thats not unusual on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wym Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 yes yes yes of course tigers are also lethal - but not as much as the vans I admit at least with kids involved, let the idiot adults get mauled or worse as long as they get a proper warning first.
