PETA'S STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF CROCODILE LOLONG

2013-02-12T04:30:00.003-08:00

“Lolong,” is no longer the world’s largest saltwater crocodile in captivity. He died Sunday night and biological experts are now helping to determine the cause of Lolong’s tragic death.

The municipal government of Bunawan suddenly became a tourist destination after capturing Lolong’s back in September 2011.

Lolong was measured 6.17 meters and he overtake the record holder "Cassius" (5.48 meters) from Australia, as the world’s largest crocodile in captivity.

UPDATE: islandscoop reports that a rep. for Bunawan local government revealed that three weeks ago Lolong swallowed a nylon cord which triggered chronic diarrhea. His stomach started swelling that leads to death.

PETA'S STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF CROCODILE LOLONG

The death of Lolong is tragic but, sadly, not surprising. While the exact cause of Lolong's death is still being investigated, scientific studies have shown that captive animals die younger than their wild counterparts. Lolong suffered and died because people wanted to make money off his captivity.

Lolong spent his last 18 months alone in a concrete pen, instead of in the Agusan Marsh, where he belongs. Crocodiles are fascinating animals with complex and multifaceted lives. They communicate using aural, visual, tactile, and olfactory cues, and their courtship rituals include body postures reinforced with odor from paired musk glands. They are nocturnal and, in their natural homes, feed primarily at night. Crocodiles shun contact with humans, and captive crocodiles like Lolong never become "tame."

No zoo can come close to providing what even small crocodiles need, much less a crocodile the size of Lolong. Crocodiles are hardwired to roam freely, seek out mates, and hunt for food. These genetic imperatives are compelling, and the way that they are fulfilled in the wild cannot be replicated in captivity. When you consider the immense size and strength of Lolong, there is no doubt that being contained in a cramped enclosure caused him extreme distress and misery.

PETA hopes that this incident will motivate the government to move away from capturing animals from the wild in order to keep them locked in cages and specifically look at the case of Mali, who has already been accepted into a sanctuary where her life expectancy and happiness can be increased but has yet to be allowed to move.

Burger King Admits Whoppers Made from Horse Meat

2013-02-04T00:28:00.002-08:00

Burger King is currently in deep grilling after they admitted the meat used in Whopper burgers ---- Horse meat!

Like Lance Armstrong who denies his illegal activities, Burger King initially denied the contamination and issued a statement that they had been given an ‘absolute assurance’ by its supplier. But at the end, the popular food chain failed to control the scandalous news and confirmed the burgers containing horsemeat.

The contaminated meat are sold through its UK stores.

Daily Mail reports that after spreading out the burgers all over United Kingdom, Burger King also face allegations of a cover-up.

Burger King has faced allegations of orchestrating a cover-up of its links to the horsemeat scandal in order to give it time to find an alternative supplier.

It is known that the management at Silvercrest has been using a series of non-approved ingredients in their burgers for a range of household name brands.

The contamination has been going on since at least last May and potentially for up to one year, according to evidence presented to MPs earlier this week.

Tonight Burger King abandoned its earlier denials, saying: ‘Four samples recently taken from the Silvercrest plant have shown the presence of very small trace levels of equine DNA.

With this scandal, Burger King will be facing a very hard time to establish the company's integrity. Its economic meltdown...
