Israeli Court Stops Crocodile Transfer
The Jerusalem District Court issued a provisional order to halt the implementation of a government plan involving the transfer of Nile crocodiles to the vicinity of the Negev Prison, until a final decision is made, following a request by the organization "Let Animals Live" to suspend the execution. The group was accused of planning to use the crocodiles as a security measure and deterrent inside prisons, with the Prison Service undertaking field procedures that include digging a trench around the prison and holding meetings with crocodile owners, at a cost of up to 21 million shekels. On the other hand, the Israeli Minister of National Security expressed criticism of the court decision, believing that the judiciary is hindering steps to strengthen Israeli deterrence and standing alongside those he described as terrorists.
