Israel's security minister proposes using crocodiles to guard prisons

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has proposed using Nile crocodiles to guard prisons, saying it would make escapes more difficult and reduce costs on security personnel. However, animal rights activists have criticized the plan. Experts note that reptiles cannot be treated as a 'living alarm system' and require constant care that meets their natural needs, as well as close monitoring.
