Live Alligator Listed on Alibaba Auction: “Self-Capture Required,” Potential Buyers Fear Being Eaten
Alibaba’s auction platform features increasingly unusual assets. Following the viral auction of a seized tabby cat, the Second People’s Court of Zhongshan City is auctioning a batch of live crocodiles for ¥168,000. The buyer is responsible for capturing, weighing, loading, and transporting the breeding reptiles after payment. The announcement advises against electric shock during capture of the crocodiles from “China’s First Female Crocodile Tamer,” whose business faltered.
