Culling crocs the only option, says Wildlife Dept


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

Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga said crocodile farms were too full and were not taking in any more crocodiles, while relocating them to other areas could pose a danger to people there.
