Yesterday when I was leaving campus, I saw dozens of police cars and news vans crowded around the Ponce de Leon Garage on campus. I had somewhere to go, but I tried to stick around for a bit to see if I could find out what all the fuss was about. However, no one seemed willing to answer any questions.
Later in the evening, I found out what happened. Supposedly, someone mutilated and killed an endangered crocodile that was living in a sewer canal near the Ponce de Leon garage. Coverage of the incident can be found in this brief video .
I was speechless when I saw this--I still am. This is beyond cruel. I ask myself what would motivate someone to hurt an innocent animal minding its own business? I just hope whoever did this gets caught and punished with the harshest of punishments.
Apparently, residents of south Florida are equally outraged. So I'm glad to see that since this news broke, the local television networks and newspapers, like the Miami Herald and Sun Sentinel, have been following the story and updating the community with any further news.
