Sabah to cull crocodiles at hotspot areas, not selling meat, by-products, says state Wildlife Dpt


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has decided to start culling crocodiles at hotspot areas, but there will be no meat or any by-product of these reptiles sold, said the state Wildlife Department.

Its director, Augustine Tuuga, said this is because the process of selling the meat, which includes getting approval from the government, would be tedious and time-consuming, more so with limited manpower in the wildlife department.
