Culling crocs the only option for Sabah, says state Wildlife Department director


KOTA KINABALU: Culling crocodiles in areas where they pose danger is the only option left for Sabah wildlife rangers as relocating the reptiles or putting them into farms could no longer be done.

Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga said that crocodile farms were too full and that taking in any more crocodiles while relocating them to other areas could pose a danger to people in other areas.
