Crocodile farm boss eaten alive after 40 of his own animals 'pounced'
2023-05-27
[NYPOST] Forty crocodiles killed a Cambodian farmer today while he was attempting to wrangle one of his reptiles.

The "crocodiles pounced, attacking him until he was dead," Mey Savry — police chief of Siem Reap commune, where the man’s farm was located — told Viral Press of the freak accident.

The 72-year-old victim, named Luan Nam, had reportedly entered the enclosure so he could remove one of the crocs from a cage where it had laid eggs.

Things took a disastrous turn after the beast "attacked the stick" he was using to corral it, "causing him to fall into the enclosure," according to Savry.

All of a sudden, the reptile shepherd was beset by dozens of the animals, which ripped his body to shreds, leaving the paddock awash in blood.

#11  BTW, for those of you not familiar with such things: It's croc and alligator breeding season. Also water snakes.

#8  Well, that answers the question of how old can you get herding crocodiles.
It appears to be 72 years.

#7  A 72-year-old crocodile shepherd should have known better, that's for sure.

Besides, that's right out of Animal Kingdom 101 -- You don't mess with or even appear to threaten mamma's little ones.

#6  Wow..who could have predicted that a female croc would have a problem with removing one of her eggs.... Maybe he use the wrong pronoun in explaining it to her...

#5  So, like, I didn't know raising crocodiles was such a booming industry...a cash cow, as it were.
