Overfeeding Killed the god of Goodluck

An obese 100-year-old crocodile has died from overfeeding after
worshippers repeatedly threw it sacrificial chickens for good luck.
Visitors to the Hazrat Khan Jahan Ali Shrine in Sadar Upazila of
Bagerhat district in south-western Bangladesh believe that feeding
the crocodile would guarantee them good fortune.



And in uncertain economic times, more and more shrine visitors
have been throwing chickens and even goats to the bloated ancient
croc.
Sadly, their desperation for good luck led to the reptile’s demise -
as crocodile keepers found him dead in his enclosure due to an
obesity-related condition.
Crocodile keeper Mohammed Sarwar there had been four crocodiles
in the pond but the other three had also died from overeating
problems, leaving a massive food supply for the final remaining
crocodile.
When an offering was made, the crocodile was summoned by
priests, who would bang a gong and announce that dinner was
served, prompting the crocodile minutes later to surface and eat the
preferred offering.
