I loved my visit to Vietnam. The people there are very welcoming. After going to Hamburger Hill and seeing the war museums, I shall never be the same. They are still suffering from the war, as Agent Orange has presented health issues. Please, for anyone able, donate to help their cleanup project. There are crocodile farms throughout Asia. I got my crocodile skin wallet in Cambodia.

[@JeffBilkins]

The crocodiles don't need a lot of space but you also need a chicken farm and chicken food. Could be interesting to do a full chain comparison but that's maybe for another place.

[@BreakawayBites]

[@edward2448]

Hey Andy, Crocodile 🐊 is delicious. The reason you tail meat steak was tender is because the chef removed it and made the sauce them finished it up. Not over cooked. You have to treat it like you would Veal. I can't get it fresh like you did but frozen is available in some specialty stores. The grilled stuff looked best. Really liked seeing the research they are doing for children. Seeya Next Time ✝️📖✌️💞🙏🐊

[@TascastFishing]

Gosh your production level and thorough documentation is insane! So bingey ❤️‍🔥

[@Andrew_Fraser]

Thanks, man. It's something I think a lot about. Adding production value while trying (and failing) to keeping that authentic, raw KZbin vibe. Can be tough to add polish without slipping into that overly staged TV style.

[@cipherzeroactual]

Andrew, do you run into many people in Vietnam with Spina Bifida or neural tube/spinal cord defects? My father served there and was exposed to Agent Orange, the chemical agent linked to many cases of American children born with these birth defects. I’m curious if you see the repercussions of its use in Vietnam. As always, great job on the documentary.

[@Andrew_Fraser]

I don't know of anyone but it is not something I have looked into.

[@tripledelight8104]

When I was a kid, many times, I was a victim of agents orange. We know it's a poison chemical American used it to deforest, and nobody knows it can cause cancer. Usually, American airplanes sprayed A.O. at night, and somehow, the winds carry over the town. the next morning, my eyes are swollen shut, and my mouth and nose are very inching , some people scratch until they are bleeding. Some have to go to the hospital because of breathing problems. I was very sick and stayed indoors for days. We had to shield windows and doors with plastic bags. Many people their skin got infected look terrible. During the rainy season, water washed all chemicals into rivers, and American planes keep coming for more Agent Orange. Agent orange, not only deforestation, it's destroyed all the fruit trees, vegetables, rice fields, anything that is growing on the ground will wipe out within days. Animals suffer, too. As a farmer, my family suffered greatly, and I had no words to explain how angry we were. During the war, VN is the most toxic place on earth.

[@huanleminh6288]

Vietnamese here. I can confirm that there are so MANY people with those repercussions of Agent Orange. SO SO SO Many. There lives are so miserable. But the one thing makes me angry that no one takes any responsible for that WAR CRIME

I’m a reptile lover, and yes it is tragic that such beautiful animals are killed for leather. But at the same time, I wear leather and love cows. So at least he contributes towards the wild populations and has fairly ethical conditions for a commercial facility. Same with alligators, it can have a positive impact on the wild. My major hope is we continue seeing these beautiful animals in the wild.

Crocodiles(reptiles in general) work more on instinct than mammals they transition relatively easily to wild life. It helps that they don't need to eat regularly, so they get additional time to adapt.
