"We want the farm shut down," he told The Jakarta Post on Monday. Imam added that according to the management, only one of the 105 escaped crocodiles was still at large. Imam further explained that local councilors visited the farm over the weekend to assess its condition after the escape and to demand accountability from the management in case of future crocodile attacks.

Currently, the crocodiles are mainly used by the farm’s affiliate, PT Indo Tirta Suaka , which owns a 240,000-head pig farm for export to Singapore, to dispose of dead pigs. Batam Island, which is known for its beaches, as well as its role as a free trade zone and industrial hub, attracts some 1 million tourists per year.
