Mr. Waseso said further that the flesh eating Piranha fish and tigers could be added to the crocodiles for the assignment.
Indonesia is facing a narcotics emergency and its President, Joko Widodo has declared zero tolerance for the drug scourge which statistics show kills about 40 persons each day in the country. He has severally refused clemency to convicted drug peddlers, most of whom are non-Indonesians.
There are critics of this plan and aside from this, I want to ask who will pay for the use and maintenance of these animals...the tax payers?
