Liu Wei asked Daniel about the current activity of the bay crocodile in the Agusan swamp.

Daniel's face was a little bad, and he bit his lip and shook his head unhappily, "This man-eating crocodile has bitten two tribes' fishermen to death.

Hunters who had killed man-eating crocodiles ten years ago had tried to hunt once, but the traps were all broken by the man-eating crocodile, and it was clear that this man-eating crocodile was even more ferocious than the one ten years earlier.

After the local government heard the news of the villagers killing man-eating crocodiles, they came to the village many times to carry out legal popularization work, and at the same time brought condolences to the families of the dead fishermen.

In the eyes of the villagers, it is a nightmarish existence that has posed a serious existential threat to the Manobo people living in the tribe. ”

"More ferocious than ten years ago?

"My dear mother, a seven-meter-long crocodile!"

"I shuddered when I thought of it opening its mouth!"

"I think this special situation, the government department should come forward to solve it!"

Liu Wei can feel Daniel's tangled mood and the helplessness of the Manobo people, after all, the Philippine government has issued corresponding rules for nature reserves, which do not allow the killing of wild animals in the reserve.

In the long run, the contradiction between the Manobo and the man-eating crocodile will become deeper and deeper.

Liu Wei asked, "Have you discussed it with the local government?"

Daniel replied in the affirmative: "The mayor of Bunawan Town wants us to comply with the laws and regulations, and the government will come forward to give a certain amount of subsidies for the losses caused by man-eating crocodiles." ”

Liu Wei said bluntly: "This kind of rule of law does not cure the root cause!"

Daniel said: "Who says it isn't? Now the people in the village don't dare to go down to the net to fish, especially at night, you must know that fishing is an important survival skill of the Manobo people, and in the long run, it will form a vicious circle!"

Liu Wei: "Can you take me to meet the family of the fisherman who was bitten to death by the bay crocodile?"

"Of course!"

Daniel was more than happy to lead the way for Liu Wei, and he also hoped that Liu Wei would be able to help the village.

After coming out of the management area office, I walked east for more than 20 minutes to the victim's villager's house.

Daniel knocked on the door, and it was a young woman who came out to open the door, her face a little haggard, and Liu Wei could vaguely see tears on her face.

Daniel said: "This is a wildlife expert from China, I want to come over to learn about Nière's situation, is it convenient for you now?"

The woman nodded, raising the back of her hand and wiping the corner of her eye.

Liu Wei noticed that Daniel couldn't hold back her tears at the mention of the name "Nier".

Walk into the woman's house.

The woman brought Liu Wei and Daniel stools, and then she picked up her child from the bedroom, and the child was still trying to learn to walk, and the woman held him by one hand to prevent him from running around on his own, and the child was dangling at her feet.

The child is innocent, curious about the strangers who come in, and has a smile on his face.

At this time, his mother became more and more haggard in Liu Wei's eyes.

Liu Weizhi guessed the disaster that had happened to this family.

The "Nière" mentioned by Daniel is supposed to be her husband, who was eaten by a man-eating crocodile, the family lost its labor, and she lived with a child, which made the already modest family even worse.

Liu Wei asked directly: "Can you briefly describe the scene when your husband was killed?"

The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, exhaled her nose, and said, "I did not see with my own eyes, and when we rushed over, only the hat he used to wear on his head was left by the river.

The villagers by the river said they heard Nière's shouts, but they didn't see anything when they went too late!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to know what was going on!" Liu Wei concluded from the woman's description that the bay crocodile had eaten a person for a short time, and he didn't even have a chance to struggle in the prime of life like Nière.

To prove Daniel's suspicions, the bay crocodile is more ferocious than it was a decade ago, and it's no wonder that hunters can't catch it with the same traps.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the sad woman and was very curious about what stories she was telling.

Liu Wei faced the live broadcast room and said: "Brothers, the size of this bay crocodile may break the size of the known bay crocodile in the world!"

"Just tell me, when are you going to catch it?"

"Do you need help from the brothers?"

"This monster is beyond the control of humans, it must be caught and dealt with properly!"

"For the safety of the Manobo people, Awei, I think we can discuss it with the local government!"

Liu Wei had the same thoughts as the audience, and proposed to Daniel, "I think we can talk to the mayor of the town, and hope that he can understand the feelings of the villagers and ask to catch this bay crocodile!"

When the woman heard Liu Wei offer to capture the bay crocodile, her tearful eyes revealed a little hope.

She may not be able to change the fact that her husband was eaten by a crocodile, but being able to catch a crocodile from the water has also eliminated some of the fears buried in her heart.

She believes that this is what everyone in the village thinks.

Daniel was inspired by Liu Wei's proposal, and had previously gone to talk to the mayor of Bunawan Town, and the villagers proposed to hunt and kill man-eating crocodiles, which violated the laws of the Philippine government.

Liu Wei suggested that it be captured and transported to a zoo or a special adoption agency, presumably this proposal should be approved.

Although this result was not what the brave Manobo people wanted, it was also effective in dispelling their worries about life.

Daniel nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will take the victim's family and the elders of the village to the town to talk to the mayor!"

Liu Wei: "I'm willing to go with you!"

"That's for the best, of course!"

After the two decided, they said goodbye to the wife of the victim, Nière, and returned to the administrative district office.

Liu Wei spent the night on a stool in the duty room.

Early the next morning, there was a noise at the door of the office.

Liu Wei opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and opened the door, Daniel had already gathered people.

It was only half an hour from the reserve to the town of Bunawan, and the slender elders in the village walked firmly, without resting, and went directly to the town hall.

The mayor of Bunawan Town greeted the group of old people who have lived in the Agusan Wetland Reserve for many years.

In the large conference room of the government.

The elders spoke their minds, explained their intentions, and expressed their determination to capture the man-eating crocodile.

Daniel handed over a petition from the whole village, putting forward Liu Wei's suggestion last night to catch but not kill, hoping that the government would set up a special breeding area to raise the man-eating crocodile and give the Manobo people a peaceful life.

The mayor of Bunawan Town frowned, he understood the feelings of the villagers, but it was not up to him whether he could catch it or not, he listened to it.

Considering the normal fishing life of the Manobo people, he promised on the spot that he would try his best to negotiate with the higher level government to try to solve the matter in a short time, and return the Manobo people to a normal living environment and provide a safe environment for travel enthusiasts.
