Jayli Bonow, an Australian influencer, faced criticism for feeding a saltwater crocodile a roasted chicken. She had to apologize on her social media and will have to pay a fine.
The incident occurred in a video that has already been removed from Jayli’s profiles. According to The Mirror, the video showed the influencer throwing a chicken on the bank of the Russell River last Wednesday (October 2).
On her social media, Jayli apologized for the incident. “This is stupid for obvious reasons: it’s very dangerous to feed saltwater crocodiles,” she said. The influencer also shared that she was unaware it was illegal to feed crocodiles in Australia.
The Australian Government Department states that any interference in feeding animals causes them to wait in public areas for food and be away from their natural habitat.
Fines for feeding animals can exceed $4,000.
