The NT government will no longer grant new permits to own a pet crocodile, leaving some 'devastated' and the NT opposition saying it would 'review' the new rules.
Anyone in the NT who wants to own a crocodile as a pet is no longer able to get a permit.Under the NT government's wide-ranging new crocodile management plan, no new permits will be granted for Territorians to own a pet croc.The NT election is on Saturday, and if it wins the Country Liberal Party says it may review and possibly overturn Territory Labor 's permit policy.
Mr Matthews said the changes meant some crocodiles which would have previously been rehomed safely in-line with stringent rules would instead be culled. The decision, made by Territory Labor, has now become a political issue in the lead-up to Saturday's NT election.
