Today was messy
Retic ate a chicken
Farmer found retic and not happy
Put it in a wire cage beside the road trying to sell it
We were told about it after 2 days
We have personal issues with buying animals for release
ie; Tourist sees an animal at the markets here and buys it thinking he/she is helping wildlife by buying it and giving it to us to release
Seller immediately asks hunters to get 2 more; because tourists always pay top dollar
So in our opinion buying from markets actually has a negative impact
This type of case is slightly different
Farmer lost chicken
Farmer holds snake for ransom
We negotiate a deal involving replacement chickens or value thereof
Retic drank a couple of litres and was released down the valley in a secure area after some ticks were removed from around the eyes and mouth area
Bali Happy ending?
Look at the colour of this retic compared to the other Bali retics on this thread
Perfect camouflage in that area, but not in other parts of Bali
