The incident took place in Mureed Khan Marri village, near Karachi. Last month a langur monkey was shot dead for ‘teasing’ a women of the same village.</p>

Killing of Mugger crocodiles is prohibited as the species has been listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1982.</p>
<p>
According to Pakistani wildlife activists, there is no awareness among the local people about the value of wildlife around and the wildlife department of the Pakistani government is  aware of these killings. </p>
