A controversial video shows workers at a farm in southern Vietnam stacking up dozens of live crocodiles with their bare hands onto the back of a truck for use in the reptile trade on February 15.

These men work for a crocodile farm in Hau Giang province, where their daily job is to transport crocodiles to their customers.

The practice of crocodile farming is highly controversial, with many of the crocodiles being skinned for their leather.

The fierce predators were filmed being tied up by the handlers, who were using no protective gear, before being loaded onto the back of the lorry for shipping.
