I have seen a lot of news about India, but this news is indeed refreshing my three views and irrelevant, more importantly, this lizard is actually male, what is going on? What is the purpose of these people?
News
Took turns forcibly associating with the monitor lizard and was caught
On April 13, 2022, the Today India website reported that in the Sahdari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra, India, the local police found a man haunting the animal sanctuary, so they suspected that he was a thief and arrested him, but during interrogation, he accidentally found that his mobile phone had taken a large number of videos of relationships with animals, including rabbits, porcupines, deer, etc., and the most terrifying video of him and four men violating a Bengal monitor lizard. The man and three other suspects have all been arrested and the case is pending.

What does the Bengal monitor lizard look like?
Seeing this news, the first time I went to take a closer look at what the Bengal monitor lizard really looked like, which could make the four men secrete dopamine at an accelerated rate and do this magical thing, and the picture found looked like this:
Bengal monitor lizard
At the first sight of this creature, shouldn't the average person be afraid and afraid? How to generate this desire is completely incomprehensible, first of all, it is very strange in terms of body shape.
The most famous of the monitor lizards is probably the Komodo dragon, of course, these men can not be able to deal with it, because this behemoth has the wild title of "the top predator in East Indonesia" and "the largest lizard in the world in existence". The weight of this lizard is about 20-30 kg, but the weight of adult male individuals can reach 50 kg, which is basically the weight of a middle school student, and the weight can even reach 60 kg, the weight of an adult, and the largest wild dragon on record is 3.04 meters long and weighs 104 kg.

Coupled with the animal's hard skin and super bite force, these four Indian men under normal circumstances, basically only have the possibility of going to food, but if it is a Bengal monitor lizard, the combat effectiveness is suddenly countless times weaker.
Komodo dragon body size
Bengal monitor lizard, its general weight is only less than 10 kilograms of appearance, very light, and the body length is only less than one meter or so, not to mention four men, basically a man can also subdue it, and the length of the actual monitor lizard in the video is 135 cm, but its tail accounts for most of the body, so its own body is not long.

Cloaca, a unique structure
Many people may not realize that the problem with this news is that this Bengal monitor lizard is a lizard-like creature, not a mammal that everyone is familiar with, so this animal does not have special reproductive organs, but a cloaca shared by excretion and reproduction, this structure is the same in penguins, so it is relatively dirty, and there is no special internal structure. It probably looks like this.
Cloaca of lizards
So personally I think that if it is a mammal, the possibility is a little bigger, this lizard, to be honest, personally feels not very reliable.
One of the truths may be to get its tools
If it is unlikely that the dragon will be forcibly invaded, then what are these men doing? Personally, I think it is possible that they may be in order to obtain the organs of male lizards, and then enter the market to sell them as a play.
Wen plays walnuts
Different from the mainland cultural playthings, in India, the organs of male monitor lizards are actually a kind of cultural play, because the organs of male Bengal monitor lizards have two roots, cut off and dried like clasped hands, because of its unique culture, they think that this is something of representative significance and blessing, so they will play with it, and because it is not easy to obtain, so the price of this kind of thing is still relatively expensive, so it has spawned some people, deliberately hunting male Bengal monitor lizards, and then obtaining their organs to sell profits. This is essentially the same thing as ivory.
Male organs play
It can also be seen from the pictures of the arrests:
Strange pictures
The three people in front are some of the suspects this time, but after being arrested, there is no handcuffs, there is no detention, the police next to them are still taking pictures together, and what is more strange is that there is a row of obviously taller people standing in the back smiling and taking pictures, so some people suspect that the news itself may be a story made up by some people in order to smear the first three people, after all, some problems in India are more well known.
The second truth may be to make money by making videos
In the continuous development of short video today, not only China, it can be said that the whole world is like this, short videos are more and more people pay attention to, and under this growth, there may naturally be some unethical, or satisfy people's curiosity of the video appear, from the news report, the other party has filmed these processes through mobile phones, so it is likely to be hoping to use these videos for profit.
If true, how to sentence it in India and the mainland
If this really happened, how would these men be sentenced? First of all, if it is in India, according to news reports, it is possible to face a 7-year prison career. However, if it is in the mainland, this is not easy to judge, because the formulation of the law cannot take into account that someone has committed such behavior on wild animals, and naturally there is no corresponding legal provision to judge, but the Bangladeshi monitor lizard is a first-class protected animal in the "List of Wild Animals under National Key Protection in China" on the mainland, so this crime can be punished according to the harm to wild animals, with a period of 3-10 years.
Similar news in India is constantly emerging
For India, there are indeed more such things, probably everyone should have heard that women in India are very unsafe, often similar things happen, according to the latest data from india's National Criminal Record Bureau, in 2019 reported more than 32,000 cases of suspected coercion of women, that is to say, about every 17 minutes occur, and there are many things that happen, there may be victims who did not choose to call the police, in fact, not only people, but also many other animal cases.
