In recent days, a news story entitled “2,500 pounds of crocodiles auctioned, court claims to be self-fished” has been reported online by several media outlets. It is alleged that the second people's court of nakayama city auctions approximately 2,500 pounds of crocodiles, but the bidders need to hold the crocodile's license for artificial cultivation of aquatic wildlife, while at the same time taking responsibility for their own capture once the auctions have been obtained。
In response, the second people's court of nakayama city stated that crocodiles were a special property and that there were strict regulations for breeding, breeding and exploitation, and they were specifically notified in the auction announcement。
According to the information received, the auctioned crocodile is located in the western village of the three townships of nakayama city, and the executed man, hu chia, is the second shareholder of the agricultural science and technology company of nakayama. According to the news reports, hu chii-li is a female entrepreneur in the crocodile industry, known as the "gator goddess" and has long been involved in research on breeding and disease control of wildlife such as crocodiles and black bears and sea turtles. However, since 2020, hu chiu has been included in the list of disbelievees and high consumer restrictions。
According to the bulletin, the total number of crocodiles is tentatively 2500 kg, with a start-up price of 67. 2 yuan per pound, from 10 p. M. On 31 july 2025 to 10 p. M. On 29 september 2025, with the exception of time delays, and registered in the agricultural and rural department as “galls of bays”, but according to hu, the mark is actually “samish crocs” and the number of crocodiles is more than 1,000 kg. The bulletin also suggests to the bidders that the auctions do not distinguish alligators, size, age, male or female, all by weight。
However, the interest of the netizens is based on the argument that they need to fish on their own after they compete for the auction。
The bulletin reminds that crocodiles are more aggressive wildlife with a higher risk factor, and that the species requires specialized fishers and tools for its disposal. Accordingly, the qualifications of the bidders are required not only to hold, prior to the competition, the permits for the artificial reproduction of aquatic wildlife and the breeding grounds, catch and transport qualifications of the crocodiles, but also to compete for the auction, pay for the sale of the goods and, upon their arrival, upon notification by the court, for the seizure of the goods, weighing, handling and transporting of the goods。
On 22 august, journalists interviewed the staff of the executive board of the second people's court of nakayama city in response to questions from netizens。
The staff member stated that, in carrying out the case, the second people's court of nakayama city had found that the executed person had a shipment of crocodile property to enforce. However, alligators are considered special assets whose breeding, breeding and exploitation are strictly regulated. The court consulted with the competent authorities to learn that gator breeding requires a breeding licence to carry out breeding activities and that a corresponding licence is required for its use, and that the particular features of the auction are properly described in the auction notice。
The staff member described the current online publicity auction as a sales process. According to the relevant provisions of the online judicial auction, the court determined the first auction to be 70 per cent of the disposal reference price, i. E. 84 per cent, on the basis of the parties ' bargaining price of 120 per pound as a disposal reference price. On 16 may of this year, the first competition was transjected because no one participated. The second auction set the starting bid at 80 per cent of the first bid, i. E. 67. 2 yuan per pound, and was re-recorded again on 27 june for lack of participation in the bid。
Currently, the court continues to dispose of the executed crocodiles under the sale procedure because no applicant or other enforcing creditor has applied for payment of the debt. Under the relevant legal provisions, if no offer is made during the sale period and the sale proceedings are concluded at the end of the sale period, the court may give the corresponding value of the crocodile to the applicant to pay off the debt; if the applicant refuses to pay off the debt, the court may re-adopt the corresponding enforcement measures in the light of changes in market prices。
