The project came after Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman decided last week to classify the Nile crocodile as a “domesticated wild animal,” despite objections from professional officials in her ministry.
The office of far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said Silman’s decision “paved the way for the project,” adding that the “pilot phase of the crocodile prison has officially begun” in one wing of Ketziot prison.
…
Ben-Gvir previously published videos from the special wing at Ketziot to show harsh detention conditions, including preventing detainees from leaving the wing, depriving them of blankets and food, and forcing them to sleep on iron sheets.
American crocodiles are also almost endangered. They are in the “Vulnerable” subcategory of “Threatened” that is one step above the subcategory of “Endangered.”
Not to mention the fact that moving animals to a new continent rarely works out well for anyone. Just look at Pablo Escobar’s hippo infestation.
Yes! Hippo infestation is fun to even say! It’s wonderful! More of that!
They’re over breeding and destroying the environment. Not fun for the locals
Locals can fucking cope. Or we could help them accommodate hippo infestation.
I get to say ‘hippo infestation’. That’s all that matters. I lost my home to much less globally beneficial shit.
