Brazen Crocodile Preys on a Philippine Town: ‘It Was Like He Was Showing Off’
Crocodiles are a fact of life in Balabac, a marshy island town. To some, the animals are sacred, but others want revenge for attacks on people, not to mention countless dogs and goats snatched away.
"In his view, it doesn’t help that
buwaya, the Tagalog word for crocodile, is used to describe corrupt
politicians and unscrupulous businessmen. Mr. Guion considers that a
slander against crocodiles.
“They’re
being dragged down by politicians, and they have no idea,” he said.
“Crocodiles aren’t greedy. They only eat once or twice a week, and even
then, just 3 percent of their body weight at each feeding.”"
A new mascot for the Tea party.
