It’s surprising, right? While farming may reduce pressure on wild populations, if not managed properly, it could still impact them through habitat loss or illegal poaching.
The breeding and processing part looks intense, but it’s a real look into the industry. The question is: is the economic gain worth the ethical trade-offs?
Exactly! The economic benefits are clear, but the ethical concerns, like animal welfare and environmental impact, can't be ignored. Finding a balance between profit and responsibility will be key for the industry's future.
China’s regulations on animal welfare in crocodile farming are evolving, but enforcement can be inconsistent. There are laws in place, but they often focus more on production standards than animal welfare, which means there's still room for improvement.
Some argue that farming crocodiles helps reduce pressure on wild populations by decreasing illegal poaching. 🐊 But on the other hand, if demand keeps growing, it could still have unintended consequences, like habitat destruction or even incentivizing wild capture. Do you think stricter regulations could help balance conservation and industry growth? 🤔
While the industry is growing quickly, sustainability will depend on how well it manages resources and addresses ethical concerns. If done responsibly, with proper regulation and eco-friendly practices, it could have long-term potential. But if not, it might just be a passing trend.
These things are why this world is going mad. What sort of person finds it innocuous to raise living creatures just to kill them for their skin and meat ? I'm not vegetarian but raising and killing billions of chickens to feed millions of human beings, as cruel as it is, is a different story. But crocodiles aren't meant to feed billions of humans and weren't meant to finish as a handbag or a wallet !
I see your point. Factory farming for food is already controversial, but farming animals like crocodiles for fashion adds another ethical layer. Do you think stricter regulations could make a difference, or is a complete ban the only answer?
Aqui no Brasil é popular a carne de jacaré. É proibida a caça, mas existem criadores. A carne é um intermediário entre galinha e peixe. Acredito que seja semelhante aos crocodilos.
Sim, os crocodilos criados em fazendas geralmente são mortos antes da extração do couro. O método varia, mas os mais comuns incluem eletrocussão, disparo no cérebro ou corte na medula espinhal para minimizar o sofrimento. Isso ainda é um tema muito debatido em termos de ética e necessidade.
Never thought crocodiles could be part of a billion-dollar industry. Wonder how this impacts wild crocodile populations.

Nice content
What do you think about eating crocodile meat? Acceptable or still controversial?
It's very interesting
É uma carne saborosa, aprecio essa carne 🍖😋
Great documentary! But I’m curious-how does China regulate animal welfare in crocodile farming?
China’s regulations on animal welfare in crocodile farming are evolving, but enforcement can be inconsistent. There are laws in place, but they often focus more on production standards than animal welfare, which means there's still room for improvement.
If this industry keeps expanding, could it have consequences for wild crocodile populations?

Has anyone ever tried crocodile meat? I heard it tastes like chicken but a bit chewier!

será quê eles matam pra depois tirar o couro? si matam como?

I had no idea China’s crocodile farming industry was this big! It’s fascinating but also raises ethical and sustainability concerns.
