Today we are going to tell you an interesting story about French society.
It is said that such a French couple has been divorcing, so they decided to start with separation.
Divorce, the number one problem is to divide the family property and fight for custody of the children, the couple is no exception, but some things can be taken away, some things can not be taken away or do not want to take away, such as the 2 cold-blooded animals hidden in the basement - African pygmy crocodile.
The incident took place in the city of Étréchy in the province of Essonne.
The hostess is named Sandra, who is currently divorcing her husband, who has left the house, leaving her with a mess, including a few crocodiles...
Sandra said in an interview with the media that her husband Benjamin (pseudonym) is a reptile lover, and cold-blooded animals are simply not too fond of.
In addition, the family also had five dogs, a small turtle, and a flock of birds, and the film crew who came to collect materials said that they were completely shocked.
The most eye-opening thing is the three crocodiles that have been locked up in the basement for 20 years: two African pygmy crocodiles and a spectacled caiman. Although the relevant departments are declared in advance and belong to legal breeding, the actual situation is that the breeding conditions are extremely poor, and the body functions of the crocodiles have long been degraded, and they cannot move, like living fossils.
Sandra can't see it, divorce is inevitable, but the animals are innocent and must take action to save the baby crocodile! So she not only contacted the media, but also asked the Animal Protection Association APA to take the crocodiles away, settle down, and treat them.
I believe that if these crocodiles can speak, their inner monologue must be: life is not smooth, they have endured boredom and hunger, and now they have to witness the divorce of their masters?! Didn't eat or drink, is this something that people do?! I'm tired of being old...
So what is the age of the two crocodiles?
One is 30 years old and one is 45 years old, and is affectionately known as "Mr. Crocodile and Miss Crocodile" by reporters. In addition, their little friend, the spectacled caiman, was named "Sac à main" by its owner...
Yes, crocodile skin is often peeled off to make bags, especially the luxury industry is the most serious, and it is true that humans are the most cruel, this nickname is extremely ironic...
After 18 months of separation, sandra finally broke down and turned to the Animal Protection Society for help, following the separation of the two in December 2002, when the court ruled that her husband was not allowed to go near the residence, so Sandra had to take care of the crocodiles.
It is reported that more than 20 crocodiles have never seen the sun, stayed quiet in a small space and gradually lost their crawling function, and one of the crocodiles has not changed the water for several months to bathe. At first, Sandra thought the sink was black, but was shocked to find that it was all dirt.
After weeks of discussion and planning, the APA Association finally found a safe place for the crocodiles – Germany. But the owner Benjamin did not agree, he believes that the crocodiles on the transnational journey must be guilty, and he is currently trying to find a way to provide a resettlement place as soon as possible.
The president of the APA Association strongly condemned this: ordinary households are not suitable for raising this animal at all, which is extremely irresponsible behavior!
In the past two days, the French media has also reported that the number of abandoned pets has reached a record high.
Here I would like to remind everyone in particular: the life of pets is also life, small animals are equivalent to our families, our children, please seriously and responsibly before adoption, please think carefully about whether you have enough economic strength? Is it possible to stay away?
Peace.
