If these are wild Siamese crocodiles, why are they being taken into captivity? I would have thought Tamao's policies would keep them in the wild unless they were injured or captured by traders.. Unless the villagers were going to kill them if they stayed, but that doesn't sound like the story here. I don't quite get it....

I don't either, they are being taken from the wild and put into captivity, so the title is completely wrong.

The crocodiles in Phnom Tamao are in large cages/ enclosures.
