The Civil Administration has approved the killing of all crocodiles at the Petzael farm in the Jordan Valley. Several years ago, the administration fenced off the area, and recently videos were posted on social media showing citizens entering the farm, among other things throwing stones at the crocodiles. The administration decided that the place poses a life threat and the crocodiles must be killed. There are approximately 200 crocodiles involved. Additionally, they noted that the crocodiles had been eating each other and some were documented missing limbs.
