Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 THIS BLOODY CONCEPT OF FARMING CROCODILES IN INDIA SHOULD BE ABORTED IMMEDIATELY. I have read this paper which you have mentioned earlier as well. The writer Oliver E. Deppert in pages 13 and 14 clearly highlights how " Animal People " ( people standing for animal rights etc ) can be controlled and managed by those who propose to set up such farms. He says, " This is a very difficult task and it would take extremely dedicated people and lots of money ! There needs to be funding and backing coming from the government, its partners in development or possibly an NGO, or possibly commercial croc farms earmarking a percentage of their profits to pay for environmental education and area protection measures such as guards. In any case there needs to be money coming in to sustain a project such as this. " So anyone who has the power of buying of a few important people in the Government and an NGO can do anything in Asia, this is what many western researchers and the World Bank has been time and again trying to do with every wretched projects they conceive and also get away easily. Be it constructing DAMS in the northeastern states of India or starting Crocodile farms in Bangladesh. I hope we realize these things at least now before its not too late. I would also like to caution those individuals and NGOs who have any plans of dipping their hands in such alliance. You are being watched...be careful !!!
