Why Punish Them When We're Encroaching in their Habitat?

Bakit sila ang kailangang hulihin at saktan? Tayo ang sumasakop sa matagal na nilang tirahan.

I think the comment from Eira Jade Sebastian makes the most sense:

"Let’s be clear—ang bakawan is a protected natural habitat, at matagal na itong tirahan ng mga buwaya bago pa may pumasok na tao. Hindi sila biglang “sumulpot” lang; we moved into their space. Kaya unfair na sila ang hulihin o sisihin kapag may nakita sa lugar na malinaw namang wildlife zone.

Totoo, importante ang safety ng tao, pero dapat balance ang safety at environmental responsibility. Hindi pwedeng laging ang solusyon ay capture o displacement ng hayop, lalo na kung wala namang malinaw na threat at ang tao ang kusang pumasok sa area.

Ang mas dapat tanungin: bakit may activities at tirahan ng tao sa mga lugar na alam nating natural ecosystem ng wildlife? Development should not mean destroying or removing nature para lang umangkop sa atin.

Kung gusto talaga ng long-term solution, dapat may proper zoning, awareness, at conservation programs. Respect nature, because we are the ones adjusting—not them."
