CAUAYAN CITY, Isabela— Local officials and residents here raised concern over the serious threat to their safety posed by the 33 crocodiles that were able to get free from their rearing station in the coastal town of Divilacan at the height of super typhoon “Juan” which wrecked havoc in Northern Luzon last month.

The said crocodiles that are now allegedly in river systems of the province posing serious threat to safety of people swimming or working in the river systems.

From a total of 50 crocodiles being taken cared by the Buwaya Foundation in the coastal town of Divilacan, the said number dropped to 17 after the onslaught of super typhoon “Juan” which resulted in the overflowing of the rearing station thus carrying with the waters most of the crocodiles.

Concerned residents also aired their concern over the safety of their animals because there was an incident when a loose crocodile ate a dog drinking in one of the rivers in the coastal areas of the province.
