Humans — we really are trash, aren’t we? Today’s mortal refuse incarnate takes the shape of a group of men, purportedly in the waters off Miri, Sarawak, on the island of Borneo, who took it upon themselves to beat a crocodile that had become caught in a fishing net.
Unsatisfied with simply calling the state wildlife department to cut the animal loose, the men in the clip instead repeatedly bashes the majestic beast over its head with a hammer and their rods, while another person records the animal writhing around in what we can only imagine is excruciating pain. Eventually, blood is drawn, but the men continue beating the croc.
Local media has since alerted the Sarawak Forestry Corporation of the animal abuse, and authorities are launching an investigation into the individuals behind the clip. It’s pretty upsetting, but if you want to see for yourselves, you can follow the link HERE. We advise extreme caution.
“We have sent our enforcement team to the ground in Miri to check on the details as shown in the video.
“We want to identify the exact location now.”
Social media users have suggested that the backdrop looks like Batu Satu Miri.
Authorities went on to point out that the crocodile was already caught in the net.
“These men could have just notify the authorities like the police or forestry or fisheries to handle the crocodile. What they did is a case of cruelty and they should be hauled up and penalized.”
