A crocodile farm owner in Lamphun province has made the heartbreaking decision to cull 125 of his breeding crocodiles due to severe flooding that has compromised the safety of both the animals and the surrounding community.

The owner of a breeding farm in Phetchabun province has allegedly admitted that a two-metre-long crocodile discovered in a home in Muang district on Saturday had escaped from his farm, possibly via the air duct during the severe flooding.
