Arab Weather - The owner of a crocodile farm in Thailand executed 125 of his reptiles on Wednesday to avoid the risk of them escaping during the floods that the country is witnessing and endangering the lives of residents.

Natapak Khumkad, the owner of the farm in Lamphun province in northwestern Thailand, told AFP that heavy rains had caused cracks in the walls of the farm, forcing him to make the unfortunate decision to kill the crocodiles he had been raising for 17 years.

Khumkad said he and his team electrocuted the Siamese crocodiles to prevent them from escaping and roaming the countryside, where they could pose a threat to villagers and livestock. He posted photos on his Facebook page of an excavator removing the remains of the crocodiles from their enclosures.

The Siamese crocodile is an endangered species in the wild, reaching lengths of up to three metres. However, it is still farmed in Thailand for its skin.

Khumkad said he had asked the authorities to move the crocodiles to a temporary shelter until the floods subsided, but his proposal was rejected due to the reptiles' large size.
