Influencer Faces Massive Fine for Feeding Crocodile Chicken: 'This is Stupid'

australia - An influencer in Australia faces a hefty fine for feeding a crocodile with chicken, unaware of the danger and penalty. The authorities have recently increased the maximum penalty for such actions.

Australian authorities have recently raised the maximum penalty for feeding crocodiles. 'Intentionally feeding these wild animals can pose a great risk to other visitors and increase the chances of an attack,' said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Wellbeing and Science. 'Penalties for this wrongful behavior that endangers human lives have been increased recently. They were up to 6452 Australian dollars (approximately 4000 euros) until last month. Now, more than double.'

The scantily clad influencer bragged in her video about feeding a saltwater crocodile on the banks of the Russell River near Babinda in Queensland. In the 46-second clip, Jaylie Tori is seen observing the crocodile, locally known as Clyde, and then feeding it roasted chicken. She ecstatically claims 'he absolutely loves it.' Jaylie then says, 'I know there will be heroes who criticize. But I did not put myself in danger, so keep quiet.'

The video caught the attention of the ministry, which confirmed on Friday that the video is under investigation. Jaylie Tori has expressed regret and posted her apologies online. 'Yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to feed a saltwater crocodile,' she says. 'This is stupid, for the obvious reason that it's dangerous. I also didn't know that feeding crocodiles in Australia is illegal, so I want to raise awareness on this issue. I have now learned that it alters natural behavior and might make crocodiles aggressive towards humans.'

Craig Crawford, a local member of the animal protection group around Barron River, believes influencers should encourage their audience to use common sense. 'Just by claiming you are feeding them, you send a stupid message,' he says. His colleague Alexander Peters adds that influencers seem to care only 'about likes on social media.'

'From previous incidents,' he explains, 'it has been shown that a crocodile that has been fed also approaches other people for food. It remains in the same area, waiting for an easy meal. This can pose a risk to unsuspecting individuals, leading to the animal having to be shot.'
