MALAWIAN crocodile hunters have asked for their culling quota to be increased fourfold from 200 to 800 animals in an attempt to put an end to crocodile terror at a time when the reptiles kill at least two people a day. Malawi Crocodile Hunters Association president Khalid Hassen said that the country’s crocodile population is growing fast and that food shortages are causing the beasts to resort to eating humans. Many such deaths go unreported, he said. “The population of crocodiles is increasing extensively and the quota we have is very little” under stipulations of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), Hassen stated.
