Plan to use crocodiles as death row guards moves forward (Indonesia)

Here’s one way to take a bite out of crime.

In a move seemingly inspired by the Bond flick “Live and Let Die,” crocodiles may soon be used to guard death row inmates in Indonesia.

News of plans for the island prison were reported by The Guardian, citing local media reports.

The nation’s anti-drugs agency head, Budi Waseso, says there’s one key advantage to using the reptiles to guard drug dealers marked for death: The cold-blooded killers can’t be bribed.

Waseso has also vowed to scour Indonesia for his crocodile guards himself.

“We will place as many crocodiles as we can there. I will search for the most ferocious type of crocodile,” he said, according to the Guardian report.

In the James Bond classic starring Roger Moore, a fleet-footed 007 dodges being eaten at a crocodile farm by running across the beasts’ backs.

Indonesia has some of the toughest anti-narcotics laws in the world. The country regularly sentences participants in drug crimes to death.

In April, the execution by firing squad of two Australian members of the so-called Bali Nine, Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, drew worldwide condemnation.

The pair were convicted of being the ringleaders of a $3 million heroin smuggling operation.

No need for a death row, just feed the crocs now.

The meat is probably too tainted from years of drug abuse. It would either disable or kill the crocs. ;-)

Croc stomach acid production is far more rapid than in other animals, and the low pH means they can break down hair and bone. Very hard to kill crocodilians from what they eat.

Unless you happen to have a bucket full of chicken pieces.
