Croc food deemed too grisly for children

China Daily

A park in Guangzhou's Panyu District has sparked controversy among locals by

selling quail, chickens and other small animals to park visitors to feed to its

crocodiles.

 

Most of the visitors to the park buying crocodile food are schoolchildren, the

Information Times said.

 

Many locals said that feeding the animals to the crocodiles was too gruesome for

children and could have a negative effect on them.

 

But the park said it was natural to feed the crocodiles in this way as the weak

are the prey of the strong in the wild.
