Four hundred and thirty-five: Catch but not kill

Liu Wei asked Daniel about the current activities of the crocodiles in the Agusan Swamp.

It could be seen from Daniel's face that something was a little bad. He bit his lip and shook his head unhappily, "This man-eating crocodile has killed two fishermen from the tribe.

Hunters who had killed the man-eating crocodile ten years ago tried to hunt once, but the traps were destroyed by the man-eating crocodile. Apparently this man-eating crocodile was more ferocious than the one ten years ago.

After the local government learned about the villagers' killing of man-eating crocodiles, they came to the village several times to do publicity work and at the same time brought condolences to the families of the deceased fishermen.

In the eyes of the villagers, it is a nightmare existence that has posed a serious existential threat to the Manobo people living in the tribe. "

"More fierce than ten years ago? Will it exceed seven meters?"

"My dear mother! A seven-meter-long crocodile!"

"I tremble when I think about the way it opens its mouth!"

"I think government departments should come forward to solve this special situation!"

Liu Wei could feel Daniel's conflicted mood and the helplessness of the Manobo people. After all, the Philippine government had issued corresponding nature reserve rules and did not allow the killing of wild animals in the reserve.

In the long run, the conflict between the Manobo people and the man-eating crocodiles will become deeper and deeper.

Liu Wei asked: "Have you discussed it with the local government?"

Daniel answered affirmatively: "The mayor of Bunawan Town hopes that we abide by laws and regulations. The government will provide certain subsidies for the losses caused by man-eating crocodiles."

Liu Wei bluntly said: "This approach treats the symptoms but not the root cause!"

Daniel said: "Who says it's not the case? Now people in the village dare not set off their nets to fish, especially at night. You must know that fishing is an important survival skill for the Manobo people. If it goes on for a long time, it will form a vicious cycle!"

Liu Wei: "Can you take me to meet the family of the fisherman who was killed by the crocodile?"

"certainly!"

Daniel is very happy to lead the way for Liu Wei, and he also hopes that Liu Wei can bring help to the village.

After leaving the management area office, I walked eastward for twenty minutes.

Arrive at the victim's house.

Daniel knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a young woman with a haggard face. Liu Wei could vaguely see tears on her face.

Daniel introduced: "This is a wildlife expert from China. He would like to come over and learn about the situation in Niai. Is it convenient for you now?"

The woman nodded, raised the back of her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Liu Wei noticed that whenever Daniel mentioned the name "Nie", she couldn't help crying.

Go into a woman's house.

The woman brought stools for Liu Wei and Daniel, and then she took her child from the bedroom. The child was still trying to learn to walk. The woman held him with one hand to prevent him from running around. The child was under her The feet swayed.

Children are innocent and curious about strangers who come in, with smiles on their faces.

At this time, his mother looked more and more haggard in Liu Wei's eyes.

Liu Weizhi guessed the disaster that happened to this family.

The "Nie" mentioned by Daniel should be her husband. Her husband was eaten by a man-eating crocodile, and the family lost its labor force. She lived with a child, and this family, which was not already well-off, became even worse.

Liu Wei asked directly: "Can you briefly describe the scene when your husband was killed?"

The woman wiped the tears from her eyes again, snorted, and said, "I didn't see it with my own eyes. When we rushed over, the only thing left by the river was the hat he always wore on his head.

The villagers by the river said that they heard Niai's shouts, but they went there too late and didn't see anything! "

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else. I just want to understand the situation at that time!" Liu Wei concluded from the woman's description that the crocodile swallowed a person for a very short time, even giving a prime man like Niai a chance to struggle. No.

Daniel's guess can be proven that this crocodile is more ferocious than the one ten years ago. It is no wonder that hunters cannot use the same trap to catch it.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the sad woman and were very curious about what stories she told.

Liu Wei faced the live broadcast room and said: "Brothers, the size of this crocodile may break the known size of the crocodile in the world!"

"Just tell me, when are you going to catch it?"

"Do you need help from brothers?"

"This kind of monster has exceeded the control of humans. It must be caught and dealt with properly!"

"For the safety of the Manobo people, Awei, I think we can discuss this with the local government!"

Liu Wei had the same idea as the audience and suggested to Daniel, "I think we can talk to the mayor. I hope he can understand the feelings of the villagers and ask to capture this crocodile!"

When the woman heard Liu Wei's proposal to capture the crocodile, her eyes flashed with tears, revealing a little hope.

Maybe she couldn't change the fact that her husband was eaten by a crocodile, but being able to catch the crocodile from the water also eliminated some of the fears buried in her heart.

She believes that everyone living in the village thinks so.

Daniel was inspired by Liu Wei's proposal and had previously talked to the mayor of Bunawan Town. The villagers' request was to kill man-eating crocodiles. This request violated the laws of the Philippine government.

Liu Wei suggested that it be captured and transported to a zoo or a specialized adoption agency. This proposal should probably be passed.

Although this result is not what the brave Manobo people want most, it also effectively eliminates their worries in life.

Daniel nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will take the victim's family and the elders in the village to the town to talk to the mayor!"

Liu Wei: "I am willing to go with you!"

"Of course that's the best!"

After the two decided, they said goodbye to the victim Niai's wife and returned to the management district office.

Liu Wei made do with the stool in the duty room all night.

Early the next morning, there was noise at the office door.

Liu Wei opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and opened the door. Daniel had already gathered people.

It's only half an hour's journey from the reserve to Bunawan Town. These thin elders in the village walked firmly and went directly to the town government without resting in the middle.

The mayor of Bunawan Town came out to greet this group of elderly people who had lived in the Agusan Wetland Reserve for many years.

In the large government conference room.

The elders spoke their minds, explained their purpose of coming, and expressed their determination to capture the man-eating crocodile.

Daniel handed over a petition from the whole village and put forward Liu Wei's suggestion last night, which was to capture but not kill. He hoped that the government would set up a special breeding area to raise this man-eating crocodile and give peace to the Manobo people. life.

The mayor of Bunawan Town frowned. He understood the mood of the villagers, but it was not him who had the final say on whether they could be caught. He listened to his superiors.

Taking into account the normal fishing life of the Manobo people, he promised on the spot that he would try his best to negotiate with the higher-level government to resolve the matter in a short time, return the Manobo people to a normal living environment, and provide a safe place for tourism enthusiasts environment of.
