Sorry. I did not know her crew shot Charly. I know of another croc her husband killed from the North part of the Reserve.
We can take heart in the fact we are winning the hearts and minds of the people. She is fully in charge now and has them relocated instead. This one was in the channel they dug by the house.
I give her credit for at least that.

These guys are totally misunderstood. I've got your back Babsy my love. My friend Leroy here will see to it you are safe.

There is a sad underground market for these on Caye Caulker. No enforcement means they're easy targets for opportunistic individuals looking to make a quick buck.

I suppose if an animal entered your property, you could "protect yourself" and club it over the head, but I'm not here to debate the legal boundaries of profiting off such an act. It is a moral choice though, and I'd hope most people would choose not to profit off a wandering creature. A five-foot crocodile is more scared of you than you are of it.

Since they are supposed to be protected you think if you knew who was doing it you could report them or at least name some names. I've never heard of an underground market for croc in CC but then I'm only there 4 or 5 months of the year.

Jareth,

It is against the law to be in possession of a Crocodile - dead or alive according to Belize Wildlife law. There is no debate about legal boundaries. If anyone is aware that Crocodiles are being harassed, killed or kept illegally should call the Forest Department.

Well, we are back in Massachusetts after our visit to CC. We did get to see a croc in the wild! It was awesome!!!
