Is that anywhere near your usual playground? Actually, when you go out, do you take any precaution?

Another crocodile attack in Sarawak:
A 12-year-old boy who was supposed to take his UPSR examination today was snatched and dragged away by a crocodile at Kampung Bako Ulu, about 25km from Kuching, yesterday.

I think the authority will send a party to hunt down this crocodile.

Are the authorities going after this man-eater? It probably will attack again.

I think brackish water will always have crocs, can't go around hunting and killing crocs which accidently find their way into the rivers. Maybe the crocs habitats are under threat

the incident occurred just 200m away from where they lived, kind of dangerous! Sad to hear this also!

Today news: The authority has killed 3 croc yesterday. Our Sarawak governor ordered the forestry dept. officers to kill all the croc in the river!!!!
My goodness, I think Human is the most dangerous creature on earth! The Croc killed the kid because it is hungry & it want to survive. It does not know what is right or wrong. But Human, come & destroy their habitat & now they want to KILL ALL THE CROCODILES in the river. Oh no.....

I read that Sarawak is constantly under deforestation. I am quite sure that the crocs's habitats were under threat in one way or another, hence the unusual move to human territory. I don't think the croc deserves this "massacre of the clan".
They must have felt that destroying the crocs is a faster way than relocating them. It's a very irresponsible way of handling the wildlife.

hmm....they ought to have them relocated, or donate to zoo!
read from recent newspaper that a child was killed by two houseguard dogs in china. his face was half rippped off and organs eaten. later the two dogs were sentenced to hang!

wahh, such ferocious canines! poor child, either the dogs were not on leash or the parents let him wander too close to them.

Accrording to a chinese newspaper; a famous bomoh+croc hunter just arrived at Bako to join the party to search the boy & that killer croc. He'll charge RM5,000.00 "professional fee" if he found the dead body of the kid and that killer croc. He'll use hook & rope method & (stray) dog is used as a bait....and cast a spell on the bait.

now a dog has to pay with its life ............![]()

Kuching, no offence to you but.. I can't believe the stupidity of some people.. I suppose now that they've removed all the large predators and a big chunk of the ecosystem's cleanup crew the area's going to stink to hell from all that biomass that isn't going to move... And croc hunter/bomoh? wah?
Poor boy...
Poor crocs...
Poor innocent dog..

Yesterday, they caught a giant croc. & they found some hairs & underwear of human inside the stomach. before that, I think they have killed a lot of "innocent crocodiles".
News from NST: "Sarawak wildlife authorities are calling off the hunt for the crocodile which killed a boy a month ago.
The reason: Their search is beginning to resemble a bloodbath.
The New Straits Times has learnt that several non-governmental organisations made their displeasure known to the Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) after Hatta Abidin hacked a reptile on Sunday. "
