Israeli authorities culled approximately 200 Nile crocodiles at an abandoned West Bank farm due to concerns about cannibalism and human safety. The crocodiles, kept in poor conditions, had escaped their enclosure. After years of failed attempts to resolve the situation, including the owner's refusal to repair the damaged fence, authorities deemed culling necessary. An animal rights group criticized the action, claiming the crocodiles never attacked anyone and that the culling was inhumane.
