How Crocodiles Are Farmed and Killed

Crocodiles are more closely related to dinosaurs and birds than to other reptiles and their ancestors have lived on this planet for more than 200 million years. Around 1.33 million crocodiles were killed each year worldwide from 2007 to 2010 and over 1.5 million in subsequent years. Their meat is a by-product of producing their expensive skins.
