September 17, 201412 yr Woman jumps into crocodile pit to commit suicide | Fox News A 65-year-old Thai woman removed her shoes on Friday and then committed suicide by jumping into a crocodile-filled pond, witnesses tell police who today confirmed the death. Wanpen Inyai was discovered missing earlier that day by her family, who described the Bangkok woman as depressed. Staff at the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo used sticks to unsuccessfully try to end the attack. The Bangkok Post reports that the 10-foot-deep pond she jumped into housed more than 1,000 crocodiles, dozens of which descended on her. Police found her health care card floating in the pond the next day; DNA tests on samples of tissue found at the scene confirmed her identity. The BBC reports it's the second verified suicide at the farm, which is home to what it says is more than 100,000 crocodiles: A woman committed suicide in the same manner there in 2002. The Post notes that the pond in question is surrounded by a fence, and that the farm employs guards tasked with keeping tourists safe. (Earlier this year, a suicidal man tried to get another kind of animal to kill him.)
September 17, 201412 yr OK here is my question...How do they afford or even find enough food to feed 100,000 Crocodiles on a daily, weekly basis?

I'm going to presume they're in the leather export business — doesn't seem to be any possibility that those beasts could turn enough profit being sold as food, especially in the Third World.

I would guess probably both. Make most of your money off the skins and whatever you can off the meat.
September 17, 201412 yr I would guess probably both. Make most of your money off the skins and whatever you can off the meat. That makes the most sense. How many gators does it take to make a pair of boots? Or how many pairs of boots can you get out of one gator?

As they age they probably can't make them as fast as they used to. Plus they have those tiny arms just like a lot of NFL receivers going over the middle.
