Why did you kill it?

These reptiles kill and eat other dangerous reptiles like snakes...
I'd kill it too ...but now learning it kills snakes... I'd look for a few more and have them around the compound. How can people eat this? ...some people are walking around in "beast mode"... we have many here on NL ... if what they see has meat ...it is edible ,.. as we often see here...people kill an animal ...they don't know what it is ...never seen it before ... snap a photo ...cook it ...eat it ...then come on NL ..post the photo ..and be asking for information about the animal. Dead whale washes up on the beach ...they see meat ... meat in abundance ..get basins and take home the carcass to feast. No meat is not palatable And we wonder why people be coming on here to find out about strange allergies.

Do you kill and burn every wildlife you come across?

If you were going about your normal every day life and all of a sudden from the clouds, a giant foot stumps on you and then burns you for no other reason other than because they can, how would you feel?..oh wait, you won't feel any sort of way cos you would be deceased but you get the point!
wetin this one dey talk sef!? for your mind you dey form wild life activist!? I no pity you, anywhere you find this beast just know it clearly there are livestock there. they are strong enemies of poultry farmers, be it dairy or chicks. as big as my roasters were this yeyething would still come in the hot sun to threaten them.

It’s quite telling and a reflection of how much we regard wildlife and conservation that there’s no section dedicated to that topic on this forum!

Re: Monitor Lizard: See What I Killed. by MatrixCircle: 2:21pm On Oct 02, 2025
Why did you kill it . What did it do to you.
That's cruel to take the life of the poor creature.

If you kill Mosquito I will justify it.

ifeco4:
I saw it around my fish pond, is it a threat to the fishes?
Well they'll feed on small fishes or fishes small enough for them to hunt. If you have big fishes I doubt they'd consider it as prey. But they'd eat other aquatic animals like crabs,frogs etc

You just killed a creature minding it's business for no just cause. Hope someone else won't kill you for no reason at all
