Indonesian villagers armed with knives , hammers and clubs slaughtered 292 crocodiles in revenge for the death of a man killed by a crocodile at a breeding farm , an official said on Monday.

Photographs released by Antara News Agency showed bloodied carcasses of the crocodiles in a large pile in the Sorong district of the Eastern Indonesian Province of West Papua . Basar Manullang , Head of Indonesia ’ s Natural Resources Conservation Agency in West
Papua, said in a statement that the 48 - year - old victim had entered the crocodile farm .

He added that the victim was likely picking grass for animal feed when he was attacked . Manullang stated that “ an employee
heard someone screaming for help , he quickly went there and saw a crocodile attacking someone.”
After the burial of the man on Saturday , villagers entered the farm and killed all the crocodiles , said Manullang .

Manullang said the farm had been given a licence to breed protected saltwater and New Guinea crocodiles in 2013 for preservation and also to harvest some of the animals .
But one of the conditions was that the reptiles did not disturb the community, he said . “ To prevent this from happening again , farming licence holders need to secure surrounding areas.’’
He said that his agency was coordinating with police in their investigation . “ Crocodiles are God ’s creatures that need to be protected too , ’’ Manullang said .
