Sandakan Wildlife Department officer Hussein Muin said on Wednesday the crocodiles were killed during an operation in the area where a man in his 50s was attacked while crossing the river on a raft.
Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga said traps were also being set to reduce the threat to people living in nearby settlements."We can only shoot at night because during the day, a croc is more alert and will dash into the river at the sight of people," he said.
Goossens, the DGFC director, said increased attacks on humans was more likely due to the loss of natural habitat as well as dwindling food sources, especially large prey like bearded pigs."There has been a drop in the numbers of wild bearded pigs following the African Swine Fever outbreak," he said.
A good move. Too many of em in the river.
