印尼一村民被鳄鱼吃掉 全村为报复屠杀近300条鳄鱼

A mob of villagers has killed nearly 300 crocodiles at a sanctuary for the animals in the Indonesian province of West Papua.

一群村民在印度尼西亚西巴布亚省的一个鳄鱼养殖场杀死了近300条鳄鱼。

The slaughter was in retaliation for a local man thought to have been killed by one animal from the site.

据称，当地一名村民被鳄鱼意外吃掉后，引来了全村上百人的报复性大屠杀。

Officials and police said they were not able to stop the attack and may now press charges.

官员和警察表示，他们无法阻止屠杀，但现在可能会提出指控。

The killing of a protected species is a crime that carries a fine or imprisonment in Indonesia.

在印度尼西亚，杀害保护动物被处以罚款或监禁的罪行。

The local villager was killed on Friday morning while gathering vegetables on the crocodile farm’s breeding sanctuary.

星期五早上，当地一名村民在鳄鱼养殖场附近采摘蔬菜时被鳄鱼咬伤致死，

An employee heard someone screaming for help, quickly went there and saw a crocodile attacking someone, the head of Indonesia’s Natural Resources Conservation Agency in West Papua said.

印度尼西亚西巴布亚自然资源保护局局长说：“一名员工听到有人尖叫着救命，跑到那里后，看到一条鳄鱼杀死了一名村民。”

After the funeral on Saturday, several hundred angry locals went to the sanctuary, armed with knives, shovels, hammers and clubs.

周六，在参加完他的葬礼之后，数百名愤怒的村民带着铁锹、镐、锤子和棍棒等工具来到该鳄鱼养殖场。

Local media cite officials saying the mob first attacked the office of the crocodile farm and then went on to slaughter all 292 reptiles at the sanctuary.

当地媒体援引官员的话说，村民们首先袭击了鳄鱼养殖场的办公室，然后继续在养殖场里屠杀了全部292条鳄鱼。

The farm was operating on a licence to breed protected saltwater and New Guinea crocodiles both for preservation and to harvest some of the animals.

该鳄鱼养殖场拥有环境和林业部颁发的官方运营许可证，以保护附近的湿地和新几内亚鳄鱼，并收养一些其他动物。
